'We are coming back home' - Son Heung-min wants to make history in the new Tottenham stadium

It's safe to say that Son Heung-min has been impressed by the new Tottenham stadium and now he wants the Spurs squad to live up to the standards their facilities demand.

The new White Hart Lane is set to open on Wednesday night against Crystal Palace after the completion of the north London side's second test event on Saturday against Inter Milan legends.

It is just six days after the curtain-raiser against the Eagles when the Lilywhites return to the fresh turf to play as they line up against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals

After a long wait for his side to leave Wembley, Son believes it is now time for the players to step up and play their part in the excitement the new stadium is generating.

He said, as reported by Sky Sports: "We have the best training ground in the world.. I think we have the best stadium in the world. Everything is now ready, to compare to anything.

"It's now very important that the players are serious and take the chance. It's simple, like this. The answer is now the players, how they perform, how they take things seriously.

"It's very important to focus on ourselves. Looking forward, playing here, playing Champions League. At the moment we have lots of games to go, so we have to go for it. Whatever happens, we have to be positive and we have to go again."

David Howells reveals what players first notice at Spurs' stadium and what Dimitar Berbatov said 

His mission for the new stadium is simple.

Son said: "Finally we are coming back home. The Tottenham of White Hart Lane was a special thing and now you have to make the history for this new stadium. It's our turn.

"The past, the history - it's already passed now with White Hart Lane. We have to make new history with the new stadium.

"It's great to be here again with the fans. The fans were tired as well with Wembley. Of course Wembley is a very nice stadium, but it's not our home."

David Ginola points out something else about Spurs' new stadium that will help the players
