Tottenham manager Conte defends 'sensible' Son: I'd like him to marry my daughter! | OneFootball

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has defended Heung-min Son amidst his current form slump.

The South Korean failed to find the back of the net in Sunday's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

"Sonny is a really sensible player," Conte said afterwards. "He's really sensible and a top man, a really good guy.

"If I am to give an example, I have to find a husband for my daughter I'd like to be a person like him!

"In this moment maybe he's suffering a lot that he's not scoring. But he has to continue in this way and trust himself because in every game he has the opportunity, the chance to score and then he has to be calm. We trust him and the team-mates.

"You know very well the importance of this player with Harry Kane and for sure he's a bit disappointed that he's not scoring but no problem. For me, Sonny will always be a nut in my team, in my ambition of football."
