Spurs captain Son Heung-min to leave English Premier League club

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Captain Son Heung-min announced on Saturday that he will be leaving Tottenham Hotspur. At a media conference in Seoul, Son said his decision to leave the English Premier League club was 'the most difficult' of his career and said the club was supporting him as he looks to move on to another club. Spurs will face Newcastle United in a preseason friendly on Sunday in Seoul in what could the final match of Son's time at Spurs. ___ AP soccer:

Son Heung-min is leaving Spurs as LAFC, MLS circle: How did it all come to this?

Tottenham Hotspur fans have been rocked by the news that their captain, Son Heung-min, has asked to leave this summer and is keen on a move MLS club Los Angeles FC. Spurs are currently on a pre-season tour in East Asia and face Newcastle United in a friendly in Son's home country, South Korea, on Sunday. There will surely be some hugely emotional scenes at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in what could now be the South Korea captain's final game for Tottenham. At a press conference on Saturday morning local time, new manager Thomas Frank confirmed that the forward will start and captain the side. Advertisement Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in August 2015 for £22million ($29m at current rates), and he has scored 173 goals in 454 competitive matches across a 10-year spell. The 33-year-old's imminent departure marks the end of an era. He has been one of Spurs' and the Premier League's most consistent performers over the past decade, and the London club's figurehead since Harry Kane left in 2023. Son's status as a club legend was secured after he helped them win the Europa League and end their 17-year trophy drought in May, but it will still feel bittersweet when he says goodbye. Here, The Athletic breaks down how the situation has developed. After Frank was announced as Ange Postecoglou's successor as Spurs manager in June, he spoke to senior members of Tottenham's squad, including Son, who informed Frank that he wanted to leave. None of the other players expressed a desire to depart. There have been signs over the past 12 months that Son's time in north London might be coming to an end. He had entered the final six months of his contract at the start of the year, before Spurs exercised their option to extend by 12 months. It only temporarily quelled the questions around his future. By not signing a long-term deal, the door was left open for a potential departure, not least as Son was not the team's talisman in the way he had been the previous season. Tottenham are stocked with left-wing options and Son's performances over the past 12 months mean he is no longer a guaranteed first choice. He only scored seven league goals last season, the first time he failed to hit double figures since the 2015-16 campaign. At the end of the winter transfer window, Spurs signed Mathys Tel on loan from Bayern Munich with an option to buy for €55m (£48m; $63.5m). Tel's performances were inconsistent, but Spurs renegotiated with Bayern and signed the France Under-21 international permanently for €35m this summer. Tel operated as a centre-forward for Bayern but primarily played on the left wing for Spurs under Postecoglou. Last year, they signed Wilson Odobert from Burnley and he can play on both flanks. Mikey Moore has joined Rangers on a season-long loan, and Spurs have high hopes for the 17-year-old academy graduate having a big future at the club in the longer term. Advertisement In Son's defence, he missed eight league games in 2024-25 through a combination of hamstring and foot injuries, while Tottenham collectively underperformed. They lost 22 times and finished 17th in the league. Neither Son nor Spurs ever really got going in the Premier League, despite that European success. Either way, Son feels the time is right for a new challenge and wants to leave on a high after winning the Europa League. Son started the press conference by making a statement. He looked visibly emotional as he spoke in Korean and paused multiple times. He revealed that he had only spoken to a few close team-mates, including Ben Davies, about his next steps. He did not want to directly comment on what team he could potentially be joining but said he wanted to play regularly ahead of next summer's World Cup, which is being held in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 'Before we start, I just want to share the information that I have decided to leave this club this summer,' he said. 'Respectfully, this club is helping me to make my decision. It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career. The main reason is I have achieved everything I can at Tottenham. I need a new environment for a fresh challenge. 'I have been here for 10 years. It's a beautiful club with beautiful fans. I have such amazing memories. I just felt like I need a new environment to push myself to get more out of me. I think I need a little bit of change. Ten years is a long time. 'I came to north London as a kid. 23 years old, a very young age. A boy who couldn't speak English. I leave this club as a man. Thank you to all the Spurs fans who have given me so much love. It felt like it was my home. It was one of the toughest decisions I ever made. I think it is the right time to leave. I hope that everyone understands that and respects that.' Clubs in the Saudi Pro League expressed their interest in signing Son, but the forward is keen on joining LAFC, where former Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris currently stars and where ex-Spurs great Gareth Bale won an MLS Cup. The United States is home to the largest Korean population outside of Asia and the biggest contingent among them live in Los Angeles. Son would probably benefit from commercial opportunities in the U.S., too. Advertisement Spurs want to manage the forward's exit in the smoothest way possible in recognition of what he has achieved throughout his 10 years of service. They are willing to be flexible on what club he joins and over the amount of money they receive, as opposed to holding out for the biggest fee possible. Son has remained committed in training sessions and been praised for his attitude by Frank and lots of his team-mates, including Davies. 'There's some uncertainty around what's going to happen with him, but he has been nothing but professional in the last few weeks,' Davies told The Athletic before Son's announcement. 'If there was none of the talk in public about what was happening, I don't think you would know. He's kept his head down. He's worked hard and what will be will be.' Son has only started one of Tottenham's pre-season friendlies, a behind-closed-doors game against League One side Wycombe Wanderers at Tottenham's training ground. He has performed some way off his best, looking particularly sluggish in a 2-0 victory over Reading on July 19, repeatedly losing possession and appearing to grow increasingly frustrated. He was left on the bench for Thursday's 1-0 victory over Arsenal in Hong Kong, too. Cristian Romero captained the side, before handing Son, a second-half substitute, the armband so he could lift the trophy Spurs were awarded for their efforts. Hundreds of fans greeted him and his international team-mate, Yang Min-hyeok, at Incheon airport when Spurs arrived on Friday afternoon. By addressing his future directly, Sunday's game against Newcastle will be an opportunity for him to celebrate his career with Spurs and fans can relish the moment instead of being uncertain about the future. Tottenham's squad struggled to cope with the demands of the Premier League and the Europa League last season. They face an even bigger task in Frank's first year in charge as they will compete in the Champions League, giving them less scope to rotate out their strongest players. One of the reasons they hired Frank to replace Postecoglou was his great track record of developing young talent. It is crucial, though, that the squad is packed with experience, too. As well as signing Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United, they are in talks with Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha over a loan deal. Advertisement Frank is a huge fan of Tel and Odobert, but they are raw and inconsistent. The problem is that signing a more experienced player might impact their development. It is an issue that Frank and sporting director Johan Lange need to consider before the window closes.
