Why Son Heung-min is not back at Tottenham yet and which players just returned to Hotspur Way

The bulk of Tottenham's international players are back at Hotspur Way - apart from one key figure - to start life under new head coach Thomas Frank.

Those Spurs players will soon be joined by a new face in Mohammed Kudus as the 24-year-old attacker completes the formalities of his £55million move from West Ham. The Ghana international will be undergoing his medical on Thursday at Hotspur Way as many of the club's international players start taking to the pitches at the training ground to start life under Frank.

Most them returned on Wednesday, having been given longer off after their matches for their country last month, with Pedro Porro one of the few to return early under the new coaching staff.

Back in the building to complete their bloodwork and gym tests with the sports science staff on Wednesday were Cristian Romero, Brennan Johnson, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, Destiny Udogie, Richarlison, Pape Matar Sarr, Kevin Danso, Yves Bissouma, Ben Davies, now in his 11th year as a Tottenham player, and Manor Solomon.

New strength and conditioning coach Tom Perryman, who has made the trip across with Frank from Brentford, could be seen in footage working with various players.

Those players who took part in the U21 and U19 European Championships - Archie Gray - who won the U21s competition, Mathys Tel, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore, have been given a couple of extra days off to recover from their exploits.

Another player who will be back in by the end of this week is Tottenham captain Son Heung-min and football.london understands the South Korean star, who has now been at the club for almost a decade, has had some pre-agreed family commitments to attend to.

When everyone is back, Frank will have a huge squad to work with at Hotspur Way, not forgetting another new face in defender Kota Takai, who joined this week from Kawasaki Frontale. The Dane will decide in the days and weeks ahead which players need to head out on loan this summer or can make the permanent move away from the club as Spurs look to bring in further new signings.
