ARSENAL legend Ian Wright is delighted Tottenham star Son Heung-min won the Premier League Golden Boot – as it gives the forward something to brag about.
The South Korean, 28, shared the Golden Boot award with Liverpool’s Mo Salah after they both scored 23 Premier League goals.

Even more remarkable, Son managed the feat without scoring a single penalty, and he has impressed Wright this season.
The pundit believes Son is one of the Premier League’s top players and is delighted the award gives the attacker something to show for his efforts.
Wright told Premier League Productions: “I am delighted that he has won it because he doesn’t get linked (away from the club) and it’s strange.
“He’s got pace. He finishes off both feet. He works back and can do everything.
“Son can get the ball in his own half and run through the whole team.
“I can’t understand how he doesn’t get linked with more teams? But what I am pleased for him is that he has something to show for being a top player in this league.”
Son may go under the radar but he is actually one of the deadliest finishers in Europe.
Only Erling Haaland can rival him in accuracy with the pair the only players who have achieved a goal conversion rate above 25 per cent from non-penalty shots.

And although Son may not get enough praise in England he is adored in his native country and was given a hero’s welcome when he returned to South Korea this week clutching his golden boot.
There are no murmurings the forward could leave north London this summer amid news Spurs will receive a £150million windfall from owners ENIC.
Antonio Conte looks set to stay and Harry Kane too, which means Son could be dreaming of his first piece of silverware with the club.
