Bayer Leverkusen's brilliant response to Tottenham fan asking for help to beat Bayern Munich

Tottenham Hotspur have a secret weapon ahead of tonight's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

Well, that's according to Bayer Leverkusen.

The Lilywhites welcome the reigning Bundesliga champions to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the back of a 2-1 win over Southampton at the weekend in the Premier League.

But in truth, Spurs haven't been in great form.

They surrendered a two-goal lead on matchday one against Olympiacos to only draw, lost against Leicester City three days later and then suffered an humiliating penalty shoot-out defeat at the hands of Colchester United in the Carabao Cup third round.

Whilst the north London outfit have been struggling, Bayern are unbeaten across all competitions since losing in the German Super Cup against Borussia Dortmund back in August.

As a result they will start the game as favourites, although Bayer Leverkusen feel that Son Heung-min will be key to springing a surprise over the 2013 champions.

In a response to a Spurs fan asking for help to beat Bayern Munich, the official Bayer Leverkusen official Twitter account had a simple five-word message.

"We already sent you Son," they tweeted.

During his time at the BayArena as well as Hamburg, Son faced Bayern eight times and was only on the winning side once - that was with Leverkusen just months before joining Spurs.

Furthermore, he's never scored or assisted against the Bavarian giants.

If there was ever a time for one of those records to change, tonight would be it.
