Kane is our best player, and is a Son enabler.
Son wouldn't be so extraordinary for us if he didn't have the league's best #10 feeding him through.
This works both ways. If you're English/Kane fan, you probably see it this way and vice versa if you're Korean/Son fan. As a neutral American, I see arguments for both sides but there's one crucial thing people are forgetting about Son - his actual goal tally compared to his xG (10 goals vs 3 xG) is off the charts which suggests Kane has benefited more as a playmaker from Son than the other way around. The article below pretty much summarizes how great Son has been:
Son Heung-min has scored the same number of Premier League goals this season as the entire Woolwich squad combined. Whatever way you spin it, that’s incredible. The South Korea superstar has u…

Separately, I think a lot of people forget that Son carried Spurs when Kane was absent w/ injuries throughout the past two years. For instance, Son was by far our best/most important player during that run to the CL final and helping us clinch a top 4 spot. In hindsight, how he was able to lead the Spurs during that run is more extraordinary if you think about the players he was playing with... think about where most of our starting 11 are today:
Eriksen - lost confidence well before the transfer. no longer w/ team
Jan - father time caught up well before he left. no longer w/ team
Tripper - solid but no longer w/ team
Llorente - always a squad player but no longer w/ team
Lucas - squad/bench
Dele - see eriksen above. barely been a squad player
Rose - RIP
And don't tell me that these guys were anything close to being good/great after the 17/18 season. Don't get me started on who we had on our bench.
This is the talent Son was playing with yet he still helped get us to the CL final and help secure us a spot in the top 4. So to say that Sonny would not be extraordinary w/o Kane is completely false. He has been great/extraordinary for the past 2.5 years but difference now is that we have a proper team and tactics built around his talents.
Also, HUGO should get a lot more praise as well. Unfortunately he plays a position that isn't valued.
