James Maddison, 27, looks up to Son Heung-min, 31, of Tottenham Hotspur, as he rehabilitates from injury.
“He’s one of the best strikers I’ve ever seen,” Maddison said in an interview with Amazon Prime Video Sports on Friday.

However, he suffered an ankle injury against Chelsea on July 7 and is now out of action for an extended period of time. He is devoting all his time to rehabilitation.
Prior to his injury

After the game, Madison said, “Sonny (Son’s nickname) is a player I’ve watched and loved for years. It’s so much fun to play with him now. I don’t often say this, but he’s world class,” she said, adding, “We love to play in tandem.
