There is little stopping Son Heung-min at the moment — except, possibly, the South Korean army.
Five goals in five games this season, a Champions League winner on Tuesday night, a double to down Middlesbrough three days before.
Without Harry Kane, out for several weeks with an ankle ligament injury, one questioned where Tottenham’s goals were going to come from. Turns out that is from a player who considered moving back to Germany in the summer, to where he had played all of his professional football before moving to north London a year ago.
And if Son can exhibit the kind of goal-scoring form which earned him the nickname ‘Sonaldo’ at former club Bayer Leverkusen — for his likeness to Cristiano Ronaldo, in case you were wondering — then they have no further to look.
