Heung-min Son ‘unhappy’ at Tottenham amid BBC reveal – Agbonlahor
Heung-min Son is not happy at Tottenham but he will not be dropped from the starting XI just yet, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker insisted the goals will come for Son as he endures a tricky start to the season.
The 28-year-old has started all six of Spurs’ Premier League games this season but is yet to find the net and has only completed 90 minutes twice.
Antonio Conte told BBC Sport after his side’s 2-1 win over Fulham on Saturday that he is not worried about the forward’s form.
Asked whether Son’s place in the starting XI was under threat, Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley: “I don’t think so, no.
“Son just seems like, to me, that he’s getting frustrated by the lack of opportunities and lack of goals. He just needs to put that frustration aside and get back to what he was doing last season.
“The goals will come, Spurs will create. He looks very frustrated, when he was brought off against Forest he didn’t look happy.
“But I don’t see Richarlison breaking into that starting team until the games start to bunch up and you have to rotate.
“He’ll appreciate he is at Spurs, he won’t make a fuss for now, no chance.”
In contrast to Son, Richarlison has enjoyed a fine start to life at Spurs and was handed his first start in the win over Fulham.
The Brazil international already has two assists and averages a goal contribution every 83.5 minutes this term.
