Antonio Conte has admitted Tottenham need Son Heung-min at his best but has no doubts about him returning to form.

The forward has five goals for Spurs this season, but they came in just two games meaning the South Korean has failed to score in 19 club fixtures during the current campaign.

Son sustained a facial fracture ahead of the World Cup and despite recovering in time to feature in Qatar, he failed to find the net at the tournament and Conte knows he is struggling.
