Son Heung-min has signed for Tottenham.

Spurs splash out £22m on a new striker -- and it's not Berahino

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino was known to be chasing West Brom forward Saido Berahino.

TOTTENHAM HAVE CONFIRMED the signing of Bayer Leverkusen striker Son Heung-min for an undisclosed fee thought to be in the region of £22million.

The South Korea international arrives on a deal until 2020, bolstering the attacking options at White Hart Lane.

Mauricio Pochettino was known to be chasing West Brom forward Saido Berahino, but the arrival of Son — subject to a work permit and international clearance – casts significant doubt over that transfer.

Son’s signing could help to kick-start Harry Kane’s season, with the England striker having failed to find the net this term playing as a lone frontman.

The 23-year-old, who has 44 international caps to his name, made a total of 87 appearances during his time at Leverkusen, scoring 29 goals.

Goalkeeper concedes seven against Dortmund but this triple save was incredible>

Man City will offer Kevin de Bruyne a staggering salary to return to the Premier League>

    He has proven himself in bundesliga,is a better buy than berahino when you realise you get the great aidy ward as berahino’s agent.when you see fees like 15m being quoted for afobe of wolves,10m for dwight gayle it looks like a great deal

    Berahino and Aidy Ward parted company at the beginning of July. Son hasn’t scored any premier league goals, Berahino has. Berahino even though he wasn’t outstanding and didn’t have the best of service, still managed to score 14 league goals last year.

    But he’s played and scored in world cups and champions league, as well as competing at a top German club. Scoring a few PL goals for WBA isn’t the defining criteria of a players worth.

    Son is a great buy. Can play as a winger or attacking mid, has a good eye for goal as well as being a tricky player and very good off either foot.

    Seems a lot of money for a relatively unproven player
