Skysports-News: After lengthy talks, the Chelsea star is expected to back out of his contract with Tottenham because of…..

Tottenham Hotspur backed to sign ‘ruthless character’ and then thrive with Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min enters his second season as Tottenham Hotspur captain and he will be hoping it results in a trophy.

The South Korean star has been at the club for close to a decade and you feel he needs silverware to back up his goals and on-field performances.

Harry Kane and Son formed a quite stunning partnership during their time in the Premier League, before Tottenham’s all-time leading goalscorer departed for Bayern Munich.

Under Ange Postecoglou, Spurs improved from Kane’s last campaign at the club, including scoring more goals (70 to 74).

That surprised many because, when Kane left, some predicted the London club to struggle and perhaps fall away further.

Paul Merson completely changed his mind about Postecoglou’s Tottenham midway through last season, but now they have to kick on.

Tottenham have secured the transfer of Archie Gray, which is a positive step forward, but you feel they need that bonafide number nine.

Not someone to replace Kane, as such, that will never happen, but for a striker to come in who can work well with what’s around him.

Tony Cascarino is backing Ivan Toney to just that, but he also feels he could be a fit for West Ham United, as he told talkSPORT.
