Tottenham are set to receive a massive triple hammer blow to their Premier League title challenge as they head into the second international break. Ange Postecoglou’s side have had a fantastic start to the season as they sit top of the Premier League for the first time in over two years.
The Australian’s introduction has no doubt dramatically changed the face of the club after their best start to a season in their history. Summer signings have slotted in perfectly, with the likes of James Maddison, Manor Solomon and Mickey van de Ven all heavily contributing to their early successes in the league.
With the only blemish on their perfect record so far being a loss on penalties to Fulham in the Carabao Cup second round, there have been some magical moments for the club so far. A record-breaking comeback against Sheffield United was quickly followed up by an exciting 2-2 draw in the North London Derby against bitter rivals Arsenal.
Then Pedro Porro’s cross being turned into the Liverpool net by Joel Matip right at the death of their iconic and controversial clash has seemed to continue their upwards trajectory as of late. However, that all might be set to change in the near future.
Unfortunately for Postecoglou, he’s already set to lose three of his most important stars for up to a month as they head out on international duties. The main major blow will undoubtedly be captain Son Heung-Min, who will be captaining South Korea at the 2023 Asia Cup in January.
The 31-year-old has linked up perfectly with summer signing Maddison so far, with the pair directly involved in two of each other’s goals – both coming in the North London Derby. The star has also stepped into former teammate Harry Kane’s shooting boots, having already found six goals from his opening eight games – only four away from the ten he netted in all of last season.
