Tottenham Hotspur wide player Heung-min Son is all set to make a comeback from his suspension after missing out on both matches versus Aston Villa and Manchester City in the Premier League this month. The South-Korean international got his marching orders versus Bournemouth back in May last season. The Spurs talisman served the final game of his three-match suspension against the Citizens and will now be eligible to feature versus the Magpies on Sunday.
Son’s Incredible Form For Tottenham Last Season
Son enjoyed a brilliant run of form for the North London outfit in the previous campaign when he put in some memorable displays on all fronts under Mauricio Pochettino’s tutelage. Therefore, a lot will be expected of him when he makes his full return for Spurs in the coming weeks.
The former Bundesliga sensation featured in 48 matches for Pochettino’s team last season, scoring 20 goals while grabbing ten assists across multiple competitions. He played an instrumental part in helping Spurs progress into the UEFA Champions League final for the first time in their history earlier this summer. However, they eventually lost to Liverpool with a 2-0 scoreline which ended their European dream.
However, the 2019-20 campaign will feel like a new challenge as Tottenham will be expected to win a trophy under the expert stewardship of Pochettino. Son has the skillset required to play a crucial role in bringing success back to North London this season.
What Are The Ex-Hamburg Talent’s Best Attributes?
Son is moderately paced and is capable of making some penetrative runs down the wide areas. He tends to keep a cool head when marked closely by the opposition defenders. However, what makes him such an exceptional talent is his ability to score and create goals consistently at the highest level.
Son’s Return From Suspension: Huge Boost For Spurs?
The South-Korean international has completely transformed himself into a prolific forward since making a switch from Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the summer transfer window of 2015. Having him back for the home encounter versus Steve Bruce’s men will be a massive boost for Pochettino and his chances of securing maximum points from this weekend.
However, only time will tell whether Son can hit the ground running by opening his goal-scoring account for the new campaign against Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
