Daniel Sturridge is a fan of Son Heung-min.
On another note Son Heung Min is one of my fav players in football. He has everthing. World class in my opinion. I really don’t think he’s talked about enough or given the credit he deserves. I’m shocked teams aren’t lining up to sign him. Gotta give him his flowers today. 🙌🏾🔥

Williams’ George Russell was thankful to the rain-soaked fans after Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix was twice red-flagged.
It’s been a crazy 24hrs. The support we’ve had as a team has been unbelievable and, now the excitement has all settled down, it feels a bit surreal. A big thank you to everyone who has sent us so many messages. It really does mean a lot to us. [1/2] pic.twitter.com/rhjzWodK6e
