Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min will be away on international duty soon.

Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli has suggested to Football.London that Lucas Moura can replace Son Heung-min.

Son will be missing for a while for Tottenham due to his Asian Cup commitment with South Korea.

The 26-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as a forward, will head off to Dubai to link up his South Korea international teammates after Tottenham’s Premier League game against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium on January 13.

Tottenham midfielder Alli has suggested that Brazil international winger Moura can step in for Son while he is away on international duty.

Alli told Football.London: “Sonny leaving any team would be a great miss because he’s a great player but, at the same time, we’ve got players that have been working hard and are ready to come in.

“He’s obviously in great form and it will be sad to see him go but he will be back and we just keep going.

“Who knows? Lucas is a fantastic player as well, or whoever the manager decides to put in.”
