Antonio Conte gives honest verdict on Son Heung-min amid his early season Tottenham struggles

Antonio Conte revealed his thoughts on Son Heung-min's slow start to the season for Tottenham when he spoke to the media ahead of Spurs' trip to the City Ground on Sunday. The Lilywhites have won two and drawn one of their opening three matches, but the South Korean is yet to score.

There was an improved display from the 30-year-old against Wolves, with his corner being flicked on by Ivan Perisic and then knocked into the net by Harry Kane. However, Son hasn't been at his imperious best.

The attacker shared the golden boot award with Mohamed Salah last season and went from strength to strength, with his personal achievements and his on-field relationship with the England captain. However, these high expectations haven't been met in the first few games of the new campaign.
