Ruud Van Nistelrooy Praises Hamburg Starlet Heung-Min Son

After scoring on his Bundesliga debut against Koeln last weekend, Hamburg and South Korea starlet Heung-Min Son is on cloud nine. The 18-year-old striker has now drawn praise from team-mate and legendary penalty box predator Ruud van Nistelrooy.

"After a training session, you can see that he is something special," the Dutchman told Bild. "Son is the future. With him, HSV will have a lot of success. He is young, has a good head, and even at the age of 18 is making a significant impact in the Bundesliga."

Son joined Hamburg earlier this year. During pre-season, he led the club in scoring with nine goals, although a foot injury forced him to delay his league debut until recently.
