Tottenham playmaker James Maddison says Heung-Min Son is ‘world class’ after the South Korea forward helped Spurs to the top of the Premier League table.
Son scored once and set-up another as Ange Postecoglou’s men beat Fulham 2-0 at the Tottenham stadium.
Spurs are unbeaten so far this term, winning seven of their opening nine matches.
Maddison has been at the forefront of the side’s form since his arrival from Leicester in a £40m move.
The England midfielder’s struck up abrilliant partnership with Son, particularly after the departure of Harry Kane.
And Maddison says the former Bayer Leverkusen man is ‘world class’.

‘We have a brilliant relationship,’ said Maddison.
‘Sonny was a player I loved for years and years watching and now it is an absolute pleasure to play with him. He is a world class player, I don’t throw that around a lot. We like to link up, we work a lot on training and we are starting to understand each other’s runs.
‘The fans can get carried away, we want that! It is what it is about for them, but it is about us not doing that. If you think of long term goals you can get carried away.
‘We want the fans to dream, but we will stay focused day by day.’
