It honestly feels like we have two of the very best finishers in the world leading the line. Probably because we do.

You can't say anything based on those stats. They don't receive the same kind of balls, and they don't face the same kind of pressure.
For instance Kane is frequently the receipient of long balls from Lloris, Toby etc, and is looking for a flick on, which doesn't have a high completion rate.
Bergwijn is often in our own half contesting loose ball scrambles where he might receive the ball but be quickly surrounded.
Son is similarly crowded out, if he receives the ball in front of the defence, but he's the only one that frequently gets to receive those ball behind the defence which are a lot easier to control.
According to the stats, Kane's passing accuracy is lower than Son, but Kane clearly has a better passing game.

I was going to comment the same thing - there's also a chunk involving Eriksen earlier in the video. Really think Dele should get more looks against the top clubs.
Hope he signs that contract soon! I have a suspicion that he might be flirting with other clubs.
Doesn't this rumor come up every transfer window?

Another assist from corner kick.
his corners been pretty good ever since he took over that duty.
His kicks curls and carries lots of speed. It always look dangerous.
wish he take direct free kick sometimes.
think he can score few goal if he was given few chances.

Best finisher in the league doesn’t take penalties or take free kicks. Odd.
I have no problem with Kane taking penalty because he's probably the best penalty taker in the world, but we never get any goal from direct free kicks ever.
I've seen Son try direct free kick only few times, but whenever he does take it, he scored banger or very close from scoring the goal.

I agree. Kane is absolutely automatic at the penalty line. Interesting idea on Son as a free kick taker though.
If there is one player you want taking penalties... Its Kane.
Well said champ
Watching the goal again, I'm actually convinced that there is a telepathic connection between these two...
Watch how Kane is delivering that inch perfect pass into the space he wants Son to run into and watch Son just making that perfectly timed run into that space before the ball even leaves Kane's foot...insane really

Son Heung-min 'wanted by Real Madrid' in big summer move
Son, 28, is contracted to Spurs until the summer of 2023 after signing a big money extension in 2018, but Madrid could look to twist the hand of the north London club if he does not commit to fresh terms.
Son can't dribble?
He dribbled a bit during the goal of the season against Burnley though didn't he?!! Also a great goal against Chelsea a few seasons ago i remember a bit of dribbling going on....
