Mauricio Pochettino has a new problem at Tottenham Hotspur, over who to pick in his side’s attacking positions at the weekend.

Tottenham rotated their squad heavily in midweek, but Pochettino’s side still marched to a 3-1 victory over West Ham United in the League Cup.

During the contest, Son showed what an asset he is once again, and gave a reminder of his quality.

Son scored twice for Spurs and was a constant threat throughout the fixture, as he finally got his campaign up and running.

The South Korean has struggled for form so far this season, after returning to Spurs late, due to his international commitments.

But Son now looks to be close to his best again, and that presents Pochettino with a genuine dilemma.

With Harry Kane almost certain to start for Spurs against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Pochettino is going to have difficulty picking the other three attackers to go into his line-up.

Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela have both been in excellent form this season, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen are now seemingly fit again, and Son is back on form.

It means Spurs have to chose between five superb players to fit into three spots.

And, for one of the first times this season, Pochettino now has a problem over picking his Tottenham starting line-up this weekend.
