Heung-min Son blown away by ‘very, very impressive’ £25m Tottenham player in Everton victory
Following what was a wasteful display from Tottenham against the Foxes on Monday, Spurs were anything but that against the Toffees.
Heung-min Son helped himself to two goals in north London with Cristian Romero and Yves Bissouma also getting on the score sheet.
However, there was one player who seriously impressed the Tottenham captain having also seen what he is capable of doing in training at Hotspur Way.
What Heung-min Son said about Wilson Odobert’s Tottenham debut
It has been a busy summer for Tottenham when it comes to player departures but it has been much more controlled when it comes to player arrivals.
Tottenham’s transfer business is now expected to be just about done having signed Wilson Odobert last week.
And the former Burnley winger made his debut from the start on Saturday against Everton where he was certainly able to impress.
Odobert was not available to play on Monday against Leicester as he awaited his work permit but an opportunity arose on Saturday with Dominic Solanke out through injury.
And clearly, he showed enough against the Toffees to impress his captain who stole the show with his two goals.
“He was very, very impressive,” Son told football.london.
“He’s been training with the team, maybe three or four times, maybe a little bit more, but you can see how much quality he has. And he understood how we want to play and I was very, very pleased to see him on the left side, going one-on-one and making a good impact.
“I mean it’s his first game, we don’t…let’s not celebrate too much because, you know, with the young players we need to stay very humble. We also have to take care of these players, we can’t let them celebrate that much after one game, because football has such a long, long period and long season. So I will also tell him I’m trying to help him, the young lads, because it’s not everything, you know one game is not everything.
Wilson Odobert’s Tottenham debut in numbers
Having made the move from Burnley in a deal worth around £25m, Odobert came straight into the starting XI.
With Son playing through the middle, Odobert was provided with the opportunity to provide an alternative right-footed threat on the left-wing.
And that is exactly what he proved to be with the French winger looking to get at the Everton right-back, Roman Dixon, on his own debut for the Blues.
