Heung-Min Son

South Korean Son made his breakthrough last season for Spurs, scoring 14 goals in 23 starts – and he looks set to better that feat this season, having already scored 11 in all competitions.

Son is a huge threat with his direct pace down the left-hand side causing many defences problems, including Southampton’s in December when he contributed a goal and two assists in his finest game of the season so far.

The former-Bayer Leverkusen man is brilliant at cutting inside full backs and either finding a cross (for the aforementioned Harry Kane) or a shot of his own. The recently returned Cedric Soares will do well to show the winger down the line instead of letting him come inside and find a killer ball.
