Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is labelled Son Heung-min as an 'important player' in his squad.

The South Korean attacker is reaching peak form alongside his partner in crime, Harry Kane.

Speaking ahead of Wednesday's clash with Burnley, Conte was asked what made Kane and Son's partnership so special?

He said: "Sonny and Kane, I always say that we are talking about two players that are very good, at an important level.

"My expectation when you have these two players are higher than other players. I think Sonny played a bit but then had a serious injury and to lose him for one month and a half wasn't good for us.

"Also because when you recover you need a bit of time to be fit, to have a good form. Now he's fit, Sonny and I repeat he's an important player for us.

"There's a good connection between him and Harry but also don't forget that Lucas Moura is an important player and now we have Dejan, Deki Kulusevski. He is young but he's ready for this league.

"You have seen in a tough game that he can give us a lot this season. Then there is also Steven Bergwijn. He had a little problem before the game against Manchester City in his calf and now he has recovered. We have many games ahead and we will need all these players."
