According to former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves, Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min is more adept at shooting with the weaker foot than Manchester City maestro Kevin De Bruyne.
The South Korean’s amazing performance over the weekend completely captivated Owen.

Son scored a hat-trick in 30 minutes after entering the game against the Foxes in the second half.
The South Korean international, who also scored the game’s first goal with his right foot from a similar position, scored one of the three goals with his weaker left foot.
And Owen couldn’t help but draw comparisons between him and Kevin De Bruyne of Manchester City.

He is the league’s finest finisher with his weaker foot, according to Owen, who spoke to Premier League Productions.
“Kevin De Bruyne is also very skilled at that. Many players can strike the ball straight as De Bruyne, but to whip it inside is incredible.
“Son, it takes great strength to curl that with your weaker foot. We observed it in his pacing, dribbling, awareness of his right foot, timing of taking a touch, and use of his left foot to complete moves. He is extremely wealthy, the Englishman continued.
