Tottenham Hotspur have a ‘very frustrated’ player in South Korea international star Son Heung-min, according to talkSPORT pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor.
The Lowdown: Son yet to find form…
The 30-year-old, despite starting all six of Spurs’ opening Premier League games, is yet to find the net for Antonio Conte’s side after finishing last campaign as one of their best all-round players.
Son has arguably failed to find his best form as of yet with WhoScored detailing that the forward doesn’t even rank in Tottenham’s top eight best-performing players so far.
Conte and co will be hoping that their big name star rediscovers the very best of his ability sooner rather than later, especially taking into account the jam packed schedule before this winter’s World Cup in Qatar.
The Latest: Agbonlahor makes ‘frustrated’ Son claim…
Speaking to Football Insider, former Aston Villa striker turned talkSPORT regular Agonlahor has claimed Son is growing ‘very frustrated’ on the pitch.
He explained:
“Son just seems like, to me, that he’s getting frustrated by the lack of opportunities and lack of goals. He just needs to put that frustration aside and get back to what he was doing last season.
“The goals will come, Spurs will create. He looks very frustrated, when he was brought off against Forest he didn’t look happy.”
The Verdict: Crucial next few games?
If Son can find his feet again over a crucial next few games, it will come as a timely boost for Conte.
Man City, Sporting Lisbon and a crunch north London derby against Arsenal are all lined up before October 2 and the Lilywhites will need one of their superstar players back firing on all cylinders.
Son can be truly devastating at his best and this may just be a case of a temporary dip in form, while his class remains permanent.
