Tottenham ace has a strong record against Borussia Dortmund.
Tottenham Hotspur face Borussia Dortmund this week and one of the selection decisions facing them will be whether to include Heung-Min Son.
Son has started just once this season and was used as a substitute for the final five minutes against Everton.
Mauricio Pochettino may be reticent to change a winning side, but Heung-Min Son’s record against Dortmund could give him reason to consider bringing him into the starting line up.
Son has played against Dortmund regularly through his career, spending several seasons with Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen.
He has a very strong record against them, scoring six times in eight matches.
Against no other team in his career has the South Korean scored more than four goals
Son even came close to signing for Dortmund in 2013, but told Goal confirming he preferred to sign for Bayer Leverkusen instead.
Explaining his decision, that he felt it would be for the good of his career. He said: “I wanted to stay in the Bundesliga and Leverkusen and Dortmund wanted me.
“Both teams play in the Champions League but I thought Dortmund would use rotation more than Leverkusen. That’s why I chose Leverkusen over Dortmund. It’s really important to play regularly in my age.”
The decision certainly did not do him any harm, and it has been to Dortmund’s loss.
Now he has another chance to make an impact, if Pochettino gives him the opportunity.
