BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton is convinced that Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min is going to ‘come good’ soon.

Son endured a tricky start to the season and his only Premier League goals so far were the hat-trick off the bench against Leicester.

He netted twice in the Champions League win over Eintracht Frankfurt in midweek but we are still waiting for form and consistency from him this season.

Sutton has predicted a victory for Spurs in their clash with Everton tomorrow (Saturday) evening and says Son will explode into life soon.

Sutton on Son

Sutton said: “Everton were a bit underwhelming against Manchester United at the weekend, especially after taking an early lead.

“The Toffees defence has improved a lot since the last time they came to Spurs – they lost 5-0 in March – but United showed you can still get at them.

“I think Everton boss Frank Lampard will be quite pragmatic here, but stopping Spurs won’t be easy. Harry Kane is up and running and Son Heung-min is still in my fantasy team and is going to come good soon.

“So, Tottenham will find a way though. How comfortable this is for them just depends on when they score their first goal. Prediction: Tottenham 3-1 Everton.”

We are not used to waiting for the £22 million man to deliver and he has been a fixture in the Tottenham side for many years now.

His hat-trick came after he was dropped to the bench, but the injury to Dejan Kulusevski has given him a route back into the side.

We all know what Son is capable of and he will hope to use his Champions League double as a springboard for a goalscoring run of form now.
