Son to leave Tottenham this summer after 10 years

Son Heung-min, the current Tottenham captain, announced that he would leave this summer after ten years.

The South Korean international signed for Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, and he has made 174 goals in 454 games.

When Tottenham won the first trophy in 17 years against Manchester United in the Europa League final in May, he was the captain.

The 33-year-old has been linked with Los Angeles FC in the Major League Soccer program. He is currently on a contract with Spurs until 2026.

Son, who is also the new manager, described the decision as “the most difficult decision I have made in my career.”

“I’m very, very proud to leave this club as a grown man.”

Son is expected to start and lead the Tottenham team against Newcastle in a friendly on Sunday, which could mean his final appearance for the club could be in his home country. As part of their pre-season preparations, Tottenham are in Seoul.

Son was described as “one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League” by Frank, who took over as head coach in June as Ange Postecoglou.

What a place to play it in front of his home fans, Frank said, “If that is Sonny’s last game?”

The conclusion “could be lovely.”
