TalkSPORT pundit Simon Jordan has now shared what Heung-min Son’s agents told him on Tuesday at Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City.
For some Tottenham fans, Tuesday night offered them with the perfect outcome as Spurs lost but put on a solid performance.
However, the attitude of the Spurs fans hoping to see City take the three points did not go down well with Ange Postecoglou.
The Australian unleashed his fury on one fan in the stands and continued in the post-match press conference.
It could have been a very different result had Heung-min Son taken his opportunity one-on-one with Stefan Ortega.
However, to the misery of all Arsenal fans watching on, the South Korean was unable to bring Tottenham level on the night.
And now, Jordan has revealed what the 31-year-old’s agency told him as he watched the game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

What Heung-min Son’s agents told Simon Jordan on Tuesday night
It has been a long, old season for the South Korean captain at Spurs with his form coming off the boil in recent weeks.
Having sold Harry Kane over the summer, a lot of the responsibility in front of goal was put on Son and he has returned 17 goals and nine assists.
However, he has only scored twice in his last eight games as the 31-year-old’s season fizzles out alongside the club’s after missing a golden opportunity on Tuesday.
But he remains the focal point of the Tottenham attack ahead of the summer as he ends the season as the club’s top scorer.

Speaking on TalkSPORT in the wake of the defeat to City, Jordan shared the conversation he had with CAA Base (Son’s agency) during the game about the South Korean.
“It was interesting because I’d spent the afternoon with the head of CAA which is one of the biggest talent agencies who were describing Son as one of the global superstars. One of the most brandable footballers in the world.
“So when I’m watching him going through on goal and, I have to concede, I was sitting there going, ‘Go on, Son’, because I wanted the Premier League to go down to the last game. I wanted all the jeopardy. I wanted Spurs to get a draw in this game. So it is all about Sunday. All about everything on Sunday so you’d have a remarkable broadcasting spectacle, and he missed a sitter.”
Tottenham eyeing new contract for Heung-min Son
Going into the summer, Son will only have one year remaining on his contract with the Lilywhites after joining in 2015.
However, it is believed both parties are keen to keep the relationship going with the club looking to step up their efforts to secure the 31-year-old’s future.
The Spurs captain’s important has been recently highlighted by Postecoglou who waxed lyrical about what he has seen from Son since joining.
“You always lean on the guys who have been there, done that and excelled it that. Sonny has definitely done that. He has been a big-game player for this football club for a long time and he’s looking forward to it with the added responsibility this time as the captain,” he said in a recent press conference.
“He’s been outstanding for us all year and I know he is looking forward to the game. To be fair the whole playing group is looking forward to the game.”
