Tottenham currently have best finisher in the Premier League and it's not Harry Kane

Tottenham star Son Heung-min has again proven this season that he is the best finisher in the Premier League. Spurs clinched a 3-1 victory against Leicester City on Sunday afternoon, with Harry Kane's opener followed up by a second-half brace from Son.

As per Squawka, Son also boasts the second-best conversion rate (25%) of players in Europe's top five leagues to attempt over 100 non-penalty shots, with Borussia Dortmund frontman Erling
