Tottenham news: Opinion - How do Spurs best use Son Heung-min?
He's one of Tottenham's best players so how can Antonio Conte get the best out of Son Heung-min?
Son Heung-min is one of Tottenham's best players, but how can Antonio Conte get the best out of him?
The South Korean has been a key player for Spurs since joining the club from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, scoring over 100 goals in all competitions.
He is a versatile forward who can play on either wing or as a central striker, and he is known for his pace, skill and finishing ability.
Conte has experimented with different formations and positions for Son this season, but he has yet to find the perfect way to use him.
The Italian coach has used Son as a wing-back, a second striker and a central striker, but he has not yet found a position where he can consistently produce his best form.
One option for Conte is to play Son as a wide forward in a 3-4-3 formation.
This would allow Son to use his pace and skill to get behind the opposition's defence, and he would also be able to cut inside and shoot on goal.
Another option is to play Son as a central striker in a 3-5-2 formation.
This would allow Son to play off the shoulder of the last defender, and he would also be able to link up with the midfielders and create chances for others.
Ultimately, the decision of how to use Son is up to Conte.
The Italian coach will need to find a way to get the best out of the South Korean if Tottenham are to challenge for major honours this season.
