Heung-Min Son's transformation under Ange Postecoglou has been crucial to Tottenham following Harry Kane's exit. But how has he done it?
When Harry Kane departed for Bayern Munich, it was easy to assume that it would adversely impact Heung-Min Son. The two had combined to score more goals than any pair in Premier League history. Instead, Son has simply replaced his old partner. He was the Premier League player of the month for September with six goals in his four appearances. Son has fired Ange Postecoglou's team to the top of the table, flourishing in an adjusted role.
It is clicking under the Australian. In fact, curiously, Son might be more natural in this system than even Kane, given that Postecoglou prefers his striker to run in behind and occupy centre-backs. In doing so, Son is able to free space for playmaker James Maddison. Kane, of course, would drop deep and perform that function himself - to great effect.
