Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are 'the best partnership in world football', claims former Tottenham star Jermain Defoe as he heaps praise on Jose Mourinho for 'understanding' his stars and getting the best out of them

Former Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe says Harry Kane and Son Heung-min are the best partnership in world football, comparing them to the partnership that Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o had at Barcelona.

Tottenham haven't lost in the league since the opening day of the season, and that run of form has seen them to the top of the Premier League standings.

A lot of that can be attributed to the performances of Kane and Son, who have 16 goals and 11 assists between them this season. Only Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard have combined for more goals in any partnership in Premier League history.
