Son Heung-Min Bids Emotional Farewell to Tottenham After 10 Years

Son Heung-Min has said goodbye to Tottenham Hotspur after a decade at the club. This marks the end of an era for both the player and the fans. The South Korean star was emotional as he played his final game in a Spurs shirt during a pre-season friendly in Seoul.

SON’S FINAL MATCH AND GOODBYE

Son’s farewell happened on Sunday during a 1-1 draw with Newcastle United in South Korea. The crowd gave him a standing ovation when he was substituted, and players from both teams formed a guard of honour. After the game, Son reflected on his farewell, calling it “a perfect moment.” He thanked the fans, his teammates, and his coaches for their support during his 10 years at the club. He said, “Sharing these beautiful moments are something that I will never forget and I will always appreciate it” .

SON’S LEGACY AT SPURS

Since joining Tottenham in 2015, Son made 454 appearances, scoring 160 goals and providing 101 assists, establishing himself as one of the greatest players in the club’s history and a fan favourite for his skill, work rate, and sportsmanship. Last season, Son played 38 Premier League games, scoring 16 goals and providing 8 assists, which helped Tottenham finish fourth in the league .

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SON AND TOTTENHAM?

Tottenham will need to adjust quickly, with young players like Brennan Johnson being considered for bigger roles as the club looks ahead to the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, and the chase for silverware in any of these competitions with new coach Thomas Frank. Son’s next destination is believed to be Los Angeles FC, with reports confirming ongoing negotiations for his transfer . Tottenham’s first league game of the new season is against Burnley, who are back in the Premier League after being promoted from the Championship.
