Son Heung-min is closing in on Tottenham immortality

 Son Heung-min will be Tottenham's biggest goal threat in Thursday's north London derby with Arsenal, and he has a great chance to further his legend with a match-winning performance.

ottenham's hopes of saving their season rest on a win at home to bitter rivals Arsenal on Thursday.

It is hardly a situation that anyone involved at Spurs wanted to be in come this stage of the season, particularly after it looked like they would run away with a top-four place before Brighton and Brentford stopped them in their tracks last month.

Thursday's north London derby - the first competitive derby in front of a full-capacity Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - stands as the biggest for both clubs since April 2006 when Arsenal rescued a late 1-1 draw at Highbury to help eventually pip Spurs to fourth place.

Heading into this derby, the player who will have the most eyes on him will be Son Heung-min.

Harry Kane remains Arsenal's number one enemy and Tottenham's biggest name, but he has reverted to a support role in recent weeks. Son has become the main beneficiary of Kane's evolving game and he now has a huge chance to etch his name firmly into club folklore.
