Tottenham star Son Heung-min admits he has 'struggled significantly' after playing with pain for NINE months - and reveals he had to undergo surgery at the end of the season

Son Heung-min has admitted he 'struggled significantly' at Tottenham last season because he was forced to play with pain for nine months.

The Spurs winger, who lifted the Premier League Golden Boot award last summer, scored 13 fewer goals during the 2022-23 season and struggled for form, as Tottenham capped off a disappointing campaign with an eighth-placed finish.

Son sported an eye mask during the 2022 World Cup after fracturing his eye socket in the build-up to the tournament, and it has now been revealed that the South Korean was also suffering from an entirely separate injury all season.
