Tottenham confirm signing of Son Heung-min from Bayer Leverkusen

Tottenham have announced the signing of the South Korean international Son Heung-min from Bayer Leverkusen, subject to a work permit and international clearance, for a reported fee of £22m.

The 23-year-old forward who scored 29 goals in 87 appearances for Leverkusen, having joined from Hamburg in 2013, has signed a five-year deal with the club.
He becomes Tottenham’s fifth summer signing, joining the defenders Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld and Kevin Wimmer as well as the Cameroon forward Clinton Njie.
Son’s arrival at White Hart Lane will help to ease the pressure on Harry Kane, who has failed to find the target this season.
It could also spell the end of Tottenham’s pursuit of Saido Berahino. Spurs have already had two offers rejected for the West Bromwich Albion striker.
Son has 11 goals in 44 appearances for his country and scored in their defeat against Algeria in the group stages of last summer’s World Cup.
