Tottenham star Son Heung-min has fired a warning to rivals Arsenal ahead of the North London Derby on Sunday.
Spurs have enjoyed a strong start to the season under new head coach Ange Postecoglou despite the departure of goal machine Harry Kane in the summer.
Tottenham are second in the Premier League table after their first five games, above fourth-placed Arsenal due to their superior goal difference.
Both sides are unbeaten heading into this week’s derby at the Emirates and Spurs are out for revenge after losing both meetings last season.
Son, who has registered 148 goals and 80 assists across 378 games for Tottenham, has now sent a warning to Mikel Arteta’s side.
‘[Arsenal] won’t want to face us at this time,’ the South Korea international said via The Times.
‘Everyone is running for each other, everyone is fighting for each other.

‘If someone comes off you give a hand off and everyone is happy to do that. That makes us really strong as a team.’
Son has already scored a hat-trick this term, which came in the 5-2 win over Burnley earlier this month.
The 31-year-old was the joint-winner of the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-22 season, netting 23 goals alongside Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
