Mauricio Pochettino: 'I am very happy with Son Heung-min'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino admits that he is "very happy" with Son Heung-min after his impressive start for the North London outfit.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has paid tribute to Son Heung-min after his impressive start for the North London outfit.

Following his brace against Qarabag FK in midweek, the South Korea international bagged the matchwinner in Spurs' 1-0 win over Crystal Palace in Sunday's Premier League clash.

Pochettino told reporters: "Son is a player we followed for a long time. You know when you sign a player the expectation is big, but we are happy.

"He scored twice in midweek and the winner here. The performance and energy he showed is amazing. I am very happy with him.

"His character is to run a lot. When I said I wanted to sign him it was because he has a profile you always like - high energy and tempo."

Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in August for a fee of £22m.
