Tottenham fans would have been looking towards this season with great optimism - having reached the club's first-ever final of the Champions League at the end of the 2018/19 season, missing out to a regimented and firm Liverpool side, as well as finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League for this season, the club looked as though they could be contending for silverware again.

Much to the Lilywhites' despair, this wasn't to be the case. With the sacking of the much loved Mauricio Pochettino in November and the introduction of pantomime villain Jose Mourinho at Spurs' helm after his own sacking from Manchester United less than a year prior - it has been a campaign of ups and downs for Tottenham and their fans.

Here we take a look at those moments that defined the club's season, with a FootballFanCast review...

Player of the Season - Heung-Min Son

Despite the infamous goalscoring machine that is Harry Kane finishing this year on 18 for the club, it has been the Korean forward Son who has shone most in the squad.

With a total of 11 goals and 10 assists from his 30 league appearances, as well as having to fill the void left by the aforementioned Englishman after being sidelined for almost six months after an injury on New Years Day against Southampton.

It was down to Son to carry his Tottenham team in Kane's absence, which he did accordingly until his own injury against Aston Villa in February which saw him fracture his arm, yet still, carry on to score the winning goal in a 3-2 victory. His ability to score and create goals makes him a name stay in Tottenham's starting 11, and has made him their player of the season in my eyes.

Goal of the Season - Heung-Min Son vs Burnley, Dec 7th '19

It's that man again - and what a goal it was.

Having picked the ball up on the edge of his own box, the Korean continued his run, dancing through the Burnley midfield - past one, past two, and another, effortlessly gliding his way 70-yeards across the silky Tottenham pitch, passing seven Burnley players in total, before finding himself almost 1v1 with Nick Pope, finally slotting the ball with the coolest of finishes in the bottom right corner - sensational.

Even I could not help but cheer his incredible effort, and just like that he had produced not just Tottenham's goal of the season, but possibly the league as a whole.

Breakthrough Player - Japhet Tanganga

This decision felt quite easy overall. The young Englishman made his debut for the club back in January against league leaders Liverpool, and despite Spurs losing 1-0, Tanganga played incredibly well at left-back and showed fans why he could be a player to keep an eye on.

Having only played six league games this campaign, it would be unfair to make a snap judgment on his abilities and potential - but from those six appearances were some impressive displays, as well as the clubs 2-0 victory over Manchester City in February.

It is fair to say though, that Tanganga has certainly been Spurs' breakthrough player of this season.

Flop of the Season - Tanguy Ndombélé

The Frenchman looked like an imposter for Spurs this season given his time at Lyon just the season before had tipped him to be one of the next big things in football.

With all being said, Ndombélé looked to make a positive start with the North London outfit - with a goal and an assist after his first two league games.

Despite this, his performances slowly but surely started to take a dip, with many times the Frenchman looking out of shape and out of breath halfway through his performances - which has now led to the player looking to move on this summer.

All in all, Ndombélé was not worth the £55 million that Spurs had invested in him.

Defining Moment - Pochettino Out, Mourinho In

I'm sure most will agree that this was a defining moment in Tottenham's season.

The much loved Argentine Mauricio Pochenttino was shown the door back in November - and veteran manager Jose Mourinho was brought in, in an attempt to steady the ship and ensure that Spurs achieved their goals in retaining a Champions League spot, and maybe even a bit of silverware to go with it.

As many of us know, Mourinho is a serial winner, and it was understandable of the Tottenham board and Daniel Levy to want to bring him in - but not everything had turned out the way it had been intended, with the club missing out on Champions League football for next season by 7 points to fellow Londoners Chelsea.

Signing of the Season - Steven Bergwijn

Tottenham certainly splashed the cash during the summer transfer window ahead of this current season - with some notable signings that many felt would make all the difference in turning the North Londoners into a title-contending side, the most notable of this bunch being Giovani Lo Celso who it is fair to say, has had a positive start to his Tottenham career.

For me though, there is one player that stands out for Spurs' signing of the season, Dutchman Steven Bergwijn. Having joined the club in January for £27 million - he made an instant impact, scoring on his debut for Spurs in their 2-0 win against Man City in February.

Since then he has gone on to score a further two goals and register an assist - albeit many of his appearances have come from substitute, the Dutchman has certainly shown fans what he can do, and will no doubt be a regular for the club next season.

Hit Expectations? NO

Overall, Tottenham have nowhere near hit the intended heights that they would have set out at the start of this season - and I'm sure that the sacking of Pochettino was something that no one would have predicted.

The club narrowly qualified for the Europea League, beating Wolves to sixth place on goal difference, and without winning any form of silverware this season, it'll be a campaign to forget for the Spurs faithful.

The club now faces a big six weeks ahead of them before the start of next season on the 12th September - with some signings and possible decisions over their current management sure to be at the forefront of Daniel Levy's mind.
