Tottenham boss Conte says no chance resting Heung-min Son: I'm not crazy!

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says there's no chance of resting Heung-min Son.

Son has not been at his clinical best since the turn of the year, and January signing Dejan Kulusevski has increased competition for places in Conte's front three.

Ahead of tonight's clash with Brighton, Conte told the London Evening Standard: "Sonny is a player who can change a result in the end.

“It can happen that a player can be in not the best form for a period, because we're talking a player who plays every game. But, for me, he is playing well.

“And that doesn't depend [on] if the player scores a goal or not. For me, it's about their performance totally. Sonny is a player in my thoughts and in my plans.

“And that's also for his commitment, so he has to start. I don't have an idea to drop him. Honestly, no. It doesn't happen. I'm not crazy to do something like this."
