On a rainy Saturday, November 9, 2019, Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min showcased his kind side, leaving fans in awe with a heartwarming gesture.
As his team prepared to take on Sheffield United, Son was seen covering a young mascot's head from the rain with his hands, a selfless act that earned him widespread praise.
His actions were captured on camera and quickly went viral, with fans taking to social media to heap praise on the South Korean international.
One fan described him as 'the purest soul in the world,' while another posted, 'If there was a vote for nicest footballer in the world, pretty sure he would get it, love the man.'
Another fan added, 'A true gent of the game.'
Son's kind gesture comes just days after he refused to celebrate his Champions League goal against Red Star, instead choosing to pay tribute to Everton's Angel Gomes who was left with a broken ankle following an accidental tackle by Son.
