Son Heung-min makes claim about Antonio Conte's Tottenham squad and his Hugo Lloris chat

Saturday's 4-1 win over Southampton highlighted that Antonio Conte now has strength in depth at Tottenham. Having to name a number of academy players as substitutes in the run-in last season, the Italian introduced Ivan Perisic, Yves Bissouma, Clement Lenglet, Matt Doherty and Lucas Moura in the second half against Saints.

With Tottenham having good squads in the past under Mauricio Pochettino, many now believe that Conte's current batch is the strongest group the club has put together in recent years. Son Heung-min, however, believes that isn't important, instead highlighting how crucial their style of play is as a good squad doesn't always guarantee success.

"It’s not important. It’s how you set up, how you add to the squad. We have really, really good players but you have to understand the way we play as quickly as possible," he explained.
