Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has described this weekend's Premier League showdown with Arsenal as "the biggest game" of his career.

The South Korea international is part of the Lilywhites' squad for Saturday lunchtime's clash, as the rival clubs face off at the new Wembley Stadium for the first time.

Son needs no remaining of the magnitude of the contest, with Arsenal lagging four points behind fifth-placed Tottenham in a tight race for the top four.

"It's the biggest game in my career," the London Evening Standard quotes him as saying. "The atmosphere makes the game so exciting and derbies are always really special for me, because I didn't play too many during my time in Germany.

"This is a real derby and I am looking forward to it very much."

Arsenal have won each of their last nine matches at the national stadium, while Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 12 games there this season.
