Ange Postecoglou was quick to tease Son Heung-min when football.london asked the attacker what he had made of the new Tottenham boss while the South Korean also emphatically shut down any talk of him leaving the north London club.

»I’m really looking forward to playing under the gaffer. The training has been fantastic, really sharp, everyone looks really happy with what the gaffer has said. Everyone is working really hard so I’m looking forward to it."
