Hueng-min Son

Capable of playing right across the frontline, Son has brought superb skill and finesse to the Premier League since joining Spurs.

His importance to Mauricio Pochettino’s side was evident when he became the key man following injuries to Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

In all competitions this season, the Korean has 16 goals and nine assists and has been a superb creative force.

With both pace in behind and creativity in front of defences, Saints will have to mark the 26-year-old closely.
