The 23-year-old had scored 29 times in 87 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen after joining the club in 2013 from Hamburg.

He was the Bundesliga outfit's top scorer in the Champions League the previous season with three goals.

Son's arrival spelled the end of Tottenham's pursuit of Saido Berahino. They had already had two offers rejected for the West Brom striker.

In July Son, now 29, signed a new four-year contract with the club, which will run until 2025.

He has scored 108 goals and claimed 64 assists in 283 appearances in all competitions for Spurs.
