'I was really happy to see him happy' - Son Heung-min reveals he congratulated former Spurs team-mate Harry Kane after striker finally ended trophy curse by lifting Bundesliga title with Bayern Munich

Kane finally picked up the first trophy of his professional career as Bayern lifted the Bundesliga title earlier this month. Soon after that momentous achievement, South Korean star Son - who played alongside Kane for eight years at Spurs - contacted the 31-year-old to congratulate him on this milestone. He also revealed just how "happy" he was for the England captain.

He told The Guardian: "I texted Harry and he called me back on a video call. I was really happy to see him happy. He is one of my best friends and to see a once teammate achieve so much, I was delighted for him like he’s my family. With that positive energy I hope he can support Spurs in the game as well, so we can achieve a good result like his.”

Now that Kane has got that trophy monkey off his back, the former Tottenham ace will no doubt want Son to end Spurs' 17-year wait for silverware when they face Manchester United in the Europa League final next week. After nearly 10 years at the club, that would be a fitting way to repay the faith Son has shown the north London outfit over the years.

Tottenham take on United in Bilbao in the Europa League final on May 21, which is either side of Premier League games against Aston Villa and Brighton this month.
