Tottenham Hotspur have had a brilliant summer transfer window so far and they aren’t done with their business just yet.
AS Monaco’s Vanderson is in talks to join Spurs ahead of deadline day in 11 days’ time, potentially joining Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Yang Min-hyuk through the door.
Oliver Skipp is on the verge of joining Leicester City, thus freeing up funds to meet Vanderson’s £27m asking price.
So, it’s all looking very bright around Hotspur Way and now Ange Postecoglou has revealed what’s exciting him about Heung Min-Son.
Ange Postecoglou says Heung Min-Son plays best off the left
Ange Postecoglou, speaking ahead of Monday’s clash against Leicester City, has revealed he’s going to play Heung Min-Son off the left.
“A lot of that was that Richy when he played was outstanding, but he had a lot of injuries last year, so then we had to play Sonny inside,” the Spurs boss said, via Football London.
“You know, it was Brennan’s first year at the club, he’s only 22 and his first year at a big club, but I still thought he did well.
“We had to sign Timo, we lost Perisic and Solomon first or second round. So, we were down two wingers.
“I really felt it was the area we needed to bulk up in the off-season and just going into the season with Dom and Richy there, two real good presences in the striking position.
“It doesn’t mean Sonny can’t play through the middle during the year, but I think we look a much better team when he’s out wide on the left. That’s the exciting bit that we were looking for improvement. We needed to improve in the front third and we have with bringing Dom in.”
Heung-Min Son now has less pressure
Now that Solanke has joined, Son has much less pressure to be the goalscorer and can focus on playmaking off the left.
Since Harry Kane’s departure, Spurs have heavily relied on the South Korean’s output, which in turn has placed too much weight on his shoulders.
So, we could see a much better Son this season.
