Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has told Football.London that Son Heung-min is having the best season of his career at the North London club.

Son, who can operate as a winger or as a forward, has been on the books of Tottenham since the summer of 2015 when he joined from Bayer Leverkusen for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £22 million.

Pochettino told Football.London about the South Korea international: “He’s doing a fantastic season.

“I think it’s his best season here so far. He’s doing well, he’s helping the team. He’s doing fantastic. He’s so happy and we are so happy too.”
