Ange Postecoglou is going to have quite the headache on his hands at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the turn of the year. A key time in the calendar with all clubs having the opportunity to strengthen in the transfer market, a number of Premier League players will be jetting off across the globe come the middle of January.
While of course some will be heading off for a new challenge elsewhere, quite a few will be departing England to go and represent their country with two international tournaments set to take place. The AFC Asian Cup is one of those as it will now be played in Qatar after it was initially pencilled in to be played in China this summer until it was announced that they would not host the tournament due to the Covid-19 situation in the country.
Now taking place between Friday, January 12 and Saturday, February 10, new Tottenham boss Postecoglou will have to make do without Son Heung-min for a period of time. A big blow to Spurs given what the South Korean can produce in the final third, it will be a time for the club's other attackers to step up and take on a key role in his absence.
