Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has insisted that he is fully focused on his domestic duties following his participation in the Asia Cup.

Son was cleared to return to England after leading South Korea to a second successive title in the competition, which ensured that the winger would not have to complete military service for his country.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, the 26-year-old opened up on his time in the Asia Cup, before declaring that he is ready to return to the top flight.

"Some players get out of the army and don't care anymore. I don't want to do that, I want to be even hungrier and work even harder. It always pays off," the attacker said. "I'm very grateful and thankful and felt sorry for my team-mates and the fans [during the Asia Cup]. I could feel they missed me and I missed them as well. But we won the cup, I'm very happy, and I was very proud to come back to show the fans.

"It meant a lot to South Korea. No team has won it twice in a row. We've done it though, and our country is very proud of us and I'm very proud of our country. I wasn't thinking about military service, the first thing was to go there and win the tournament.

"Of course, I wondered in the tournament if I was in a good position, but my goal wasn't to avoid the army. Now, I'm in a good position of course, but I'm still hungry, and work really hard to make sure I don't disappoint the fans.

"Of course [I was prepared for it] - I didn't have a choice. I would have to do it. But I don't want to think about it, of course. I just want to focus on football now. What can be better? I come here, train every morning in a wonderful training ground.

"Now I'm back, of course I want to give a present to the team and the fans after coming back from the Asian Games, get some confidence back and of course, it's more important we win, but I will try if I play to score some goals to get the feeling back."

Tottenham travel to West Yorkshire on Saturday to face Huddersfield Town in their latest Premier League tie.
