On being asked whether Son would start for any Premier League side, Bent told talkSPORT, as quoted by HITC Sport:

“Yes, I think he does now. I always used to think; ‘Hmm, would he get in (at Liverpool) ahead of Mane?’ But Heung-Min Son, he steps up all the time.

“He scores goals, creates goals, can finish with either foot. On that left-hand side, I think he would get into any team now. City as well.”

Bent has heaped praise on the former Bayer Leverkusen star for his ‘goal threat’ and intelligence ‘with his movement’.He added:

“He just carries such a goal threat, he’s intelligent with his movement, he consistently scores goals every season as well. I think you’d put him in there (at Liverpool and Man City).”
