A wholesome moment from Son Heung-min after his interview with TNT Sports has gone viral on social media, with the Tottenham man being widely praised.

As Spurs fans know well, Son always conducts himself with utmost humility, often playing down his own contributions and praising his teammates to the high heavens.

The South Korean is also extremely respectful towards others and it is arguably those qualities that make him a great leader.

There was a relatively innocuous moment at Kenilworth Road following Tottenham’s 1-0 win over Luton Town that has been picked up by many on social media.
