The Tottenham manager has already pointed out the huge fixture overload ahead of next month’s international break with the World Cup looming large later in the year.
And with his goalless start to the campaign, Son - who won the Golden Boot last season with 23 strikes - has shown that even the very best players can suffer something of a dip.
So it leaves Tottenham with something of a race to find a no 10 to fill a potential playmaker role if Conte needs to change thing up, or at the very least more competition in the places cutting inside from out on the wing.
