I’d take Son over Sanchez any day
IF I was a Premier League manager, I would take Son Heung-min over Alexis Sanchez every day of the week. We talk about how influential Harry Kane is for Tottenham but Son is the next best thing. He has energised Mauricio Pochettino’s team. Everything he does is with a huge smile on his face. Contrast this with Sanchez, who often cuts a moody and sulky figure when he does not get his way. Think of the aggravation he gave Arsenal before his move to Manchester United. There is no such hassle with Son. Pochettino has asked him to play in a number of different positions but he gives Spurs everything regardless. He is the model professional in every respect. Tottenham fell behind at Bournemouth and Kane went off injured, but Son put in a fine performance as a central striker. We are yet to see such a match-winning display from £600,000-a-week Sanchez at Old Trafford. Son has scored seven goals in his last four games while the Chilean has found the net just once in nine for United. It is clear to see which manager is getting the better value for money.
