The South Korean international started the season on fire, but tailed off recently.
Last season saw Heung-min Son struggling to find his best form after making a move to Tottenham Hotspur from Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite his odd moments of brilliance he also had injury problems and struggled toward the end of the campaign.

It looked for a while as though he might be on his way out of the club in the summer. But Spurs kept hold of the South Korean and it seemed like the right idea at the start of the season.
He came out of the blocks firing, scoring five goals in his first five games of the season.
But his form dropped yet again throughout October and November, something he has blamed on a niggling ankle problem.

Now he has told the London Evening Standard that he is back to full fitness and looking forward to an extended period in the Spurs first-team with no international football until March:
“I had a small injury and I had also been travelling a lot to play games for the national team.
“Now I can stay in London until maybe March before I next have to go to play for South Korea, so I can train really well and recover well after matches. I am feeling fresher now than I have in the last two months.”

Son certainly showed no sign of any ankle trouble in the game with Swansea City at the weekend. He scored a tremendous goal against the Swans in a 5-0 win for Spurs at White Hart Lane.
Tottenham fans will hope that they get to see plenty of the early season form from Son going forward.
