Tottenham’s captain Heung-who has announced that he will bring his 10-year stay in northern London for the end of this summer, with a movement to the football side of the major league Los Angeles FC now close.
The 33rd year joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and continued to score 173 goals in 454 games for the club.
His honors include the captain of the team for the victory over Manchester United in the Europa League final in May, a triumph that ended up waiting 17 years for silver items.
Despite two years left on his current contract, a son confirmed that he intends to leave, describing the decision as “the most difficult one I made in my career” at a press conference in Seoul along with new manager Thomas Frank.
“I arrived in northern London as a child-a young age, a young boy came to London who didn’t even speak English,” he reflected.
“Leaving this club as a grown man is a very proud moment.”
Goodbye on home soil?
Spurs are currently in South Korea for the pre-season, where Newcastle United will face on Sunday.
A son is expected to start and wear the band, meaning his final game for Tottenham can come in front of his home fans.
Frank, who took over from Ange Postecoglou in June, listened to his master, and called him a “Legend of Spurs Vera” and “one of the biggest players to play in the Premier League.”
“If that’s the last game for Sonny, which place to do this in front of his home fans,” Frank said. “It can be a nice end.”
Tottenham also has the Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain on August 13, but its expected transfer time means that SON may not be available for that device.
The impact of a son since the arrival of England was immense. About 333 Premier League appearances, he scored 127 goals, which drew a level with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink in 16th place in the tournament’s entire time score list, which surpassed remarkable names like Dwight Yorke, Steven Gerrard and Ian Wright.
Along with Harry Kane, now in Bayern Munich, a son has formed one of the most attacking prolific partnerships in English football history.
Together, they combined for a record 47 Premier League goals, with 24 Son and 23 scored by Kane.
During the 2021-22 season, son became the first Asian player to win the Premier League Golden Boot, who shares the prize with Mohamed Salah thanks to his 23-goal pull.
A year later, he became the first Asian footballer to reach the 100 goals of the Premier League.
He also has the club’s record for most Premier League Assists (71) and ranks sixth in Tottenham’s entire time list, after only Cyril Knowles, Pat Jennings, Gary Mabbut, Steve Perryman and Glenn Hoddle.
Why now?
The front of South Korea has admitted that lifting a European trophy with Spurs this year gave him a sense of closure.
“I need a new environment to press myself. I need a little change – 10 years is a long time,” Son said.
“I spent a lot of time reflecting on whether I wanted to experience football in a different environment, and I had those conversations with myself again.”
Since joining in 2015, Son has also provided 101 assistance in all competitions and has played in the final defeat of Tottenham’s Champions League to Liverpool.
He was appointed master of the club in August 2023 after Hugo Lloris came down from the role.
If Sunday’s match against Newcastle turns out to be his addict, she will mark the end of an extraordinary chapter for one of Tottenham’s largest players.
