The Tottenham Hotspur attacker is vital to their hopes this season after excelling last time out.

Tottenham Hotspur player Heung-min Son has been photographed back in training following recovery from the broken arm he suffered on international duty earlier this summer.

As reported by Spurs official Twitter account, the South Korean was involved with the first-team in light, non-contact training, so it may still be a while before he is back in contention for a first-team spot.

When he initially suffered the injury in June it was expected that Son could be out of action for three months, but it seems he is doing his best to maintain his fitness and Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to call on the 25-year-old as soon as possible.

Son scored 21 goals and provided 10 assists for Spurs last season, ensuring the club were not over reliant on top-scorer Harry Kane despite the England star’s ongoing brilliance.

While most Tottenham fans still feel their manager Mauricio Pochettino needs to sign another striker, Son’s recent form has ensured it is not a necessity.

That said, it is a while before he will be available for competitive action and Tottenham need to hit the ground running both domestically and in Europe.

Still arguably a year or two away from his peak, Son’s importance to Tottenham grows by the year and the sight of him back on the training field is a pleasing one.
