The South Korean has frequently been rotated by Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Consistency has certainly been hard to come by for Tottenham Hotspur of late, with Mauricio Pochettino’s side having lost three of their last five Premier League fixtures following last night’s 2-1 defeat to Leicester City.

Pochettino has experimented with his team a little and has rotated his wing-back options, while Dele Alli has been used in several different positions.

Son Heung-min, meanwhile, has found himself in and out of the side, occasionally starting and sometimes featuring as a substitute.

The South Korean, who has demonstrated that he is capable of playing alongside Harry Kane in a two-man attack, found the net in recent games against Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

Possessing impressive technique allied with excellent work-rate, when at his best Son can be a very useful asset in terms of both creating chances and finding the net himself.

At this stage, with Alli and Christian Eriksen having both been rather underwhelming of late, Pochettino may consider giving Son more of a regular starting berth.

Son, who featured as a substitute against Leicester, will hope to be involved from the outset away to Watford on Saturday as Tottenham look to return to winning ways.
