Son Heung-min excited ahead of return to Bayer Leverkusen

Son excited ahead of Leverkusen return

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min has admitted that he is looking forward to facing former club Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night.

Son is enjoying arguably his best run of form in a Spurs shirt since leaving Leverkusen for North London in an £18.8m transfer in August 2015, and while he has acknowledged that he is "nervous" ahead of the match, he is fully focused on helping his team to three points.

The 24-year-old told reporters: "I was here for two years and had a good time here. I was a little nervous coming back here - when I saw the draw I was excited.

"We want to make an impact. We go everywhere to get three points. It's an exciting game for me. It'll be special but I want to win."

Son has scored five times in seven appearances this season.
