The recent relationship between Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son is one of the most iconic partnerships in Premier League history, producing 47 goal combinations—a record yet to be surpassed. During their time at Tottenham Hotspur, their chemistry reached its peak under José Mourinho, as Kane highlighted in an interview with L’Equipe. Mourinho’s tactics transformed their roles from traditional positions to a dynamic attacking duo with a near-telepathic understanding, showcasing exceptional flexibility and teamwork.
Kane praised Son as one of the most underrated players in top leagues and credited their technical synergy as a key factor in their success. While reflecting on their partnership, Kane also reminisced about his role models, including Teddy Sheringham and Jermain Defoe, who influenced his playing style. He said:
“I got on incredibly well with Heung-min Son. I also think he’s one of the most underrated players in the top leagues. We’ve always had a very good technical relationship. But it took on another dimension when José Mourinho came to Spurs. Before, the roles were more established, I was number 9, Sonny was on the left. We already understood each other very well in the game, but under José, we formed more of an attacking duo and there we created an almost telepathic connection with much more changing roles, one time I was upfront, another time I was dropping back to set him up.”
Although Kane now plays for Bayern Munich, Spurs fans continue to cherish the memories of the Kane-Son era, which delivered thrilling moments and set new standards for attacking partnerships in football.
