Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has suggested on Instagram that he will start for Antonio Conte’s side against Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the North London derby this weekend.

Spurs will take on Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.

Son returned to form just before the international break when he banged in a hat-trick against Leicester City at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League.

The £22 million forward (Guardian) had come on as a substitute in the second half.

Tottenham won 6-2.

Son was away on international duty with South Korea, but he is now back in North London.

And, as you can see from the former Bayer Leverkusen star’s Instagram post below, he is ready for the North London derby.

Although Son’s Instagram post seems a nod towards TUMI, him saying that he is “ready” for the North London derby is a hint that he could start against Arsenal.

After all, Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte would find it hard to explain to Son why he should not start the North London derby against the Gunners given what he did against Leicester.
