Tottenham have been "unlucky" in their search for a deserved trophy, says Heung-min Son.

Spurs have finished in the top three of the Premier League for each of the previous three seasons and have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup in the last two campaigns.

Mauricio Pochettino has long been criticised many some for not ending Tottenham's trophy drought, which now stretches back over a decade to the 2008 League Cup.

But Son thinks is confident it is only a matter of time before Spurs add some silverware to their trophy cabinet as the club's performances continue to improve.

"We are just a bit unlucky for me, to be honest," Son, who has hit seven goals in his last seven Premier League games, said to Sky Sports.

"We are close all the time. People are thinking, 'Ah, it's Spurs', but we believe, always this team believes in the title, but sometimes you just have to have luck, with a long season.

"We can win, we deserve to win. The players deserve to win something. Of course the pressure is going to be big [to win a title] but we have to just enjoy and bring positive energy, this is the most important.

"We are second in the table but still actually no one speaks about us, they talk about Man City and Liverpool. We are going our own way, it doesn't matter. People talking about us or not, it doesn't matter, we are just focusing on ourselves. We are going our way, and it's a positive way.

"Football is about surprise. People never talk about Man City, they are going to lose, but they lost two in a row. That's football. The season is long - if we keep on picking up points we'll see what happens at the end of the season."
