Heung-min Son in tears as Tottenham legend says emotional goodbye after final Spurs game
After announcing he will leave Spurs this summer, Son captained Spurs for the final time as they played Newcastle in a pre-season friendly in his native South Korea.
The 33-year-old was given a guard of honour by both sets of players as he left the pitch in what was a beautiful moment for a Spurs legend.
Son was smiling as he walked off the pitch after being substituted in the second half but he started crying when he sat down on the bench and the 64,773 fans inside the Seoul World Cup Stadium started chanting his name.
Son has scored 173 goals in 454 games for Spurs and last season captained them to their first trophy in 17 years when they beat Manchester United in the Europa League final.
He is in advanced talks to join MLS side LAFC but has described the decision as 'the most difficult one I have made in my career'.
Speaking this week, Son said: 'I came to north London as a kid - a very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English. Leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment.'
New Spurs manager Thomas Frank has described Son as 'a true Spurs legend' and 'one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League'.
'If that is the last game for Sonny, what a place to do it here in front of his home fans," Frank said. 'A beautiful ending.'

South Korean superstar Son Heung-min is signing with LAFC for MLS record transfer fee
LAFC's signing of South Korean national team captain Son Heung-min appears to be one of those rare acquisitions that checks every box and helps everybody. Not only is it one of the most significant signings in MLS history, but it instantly makes LAFC better while boosting the World Cup hopes of the Korean national team and the profile of Korean soccer in the U.S. But in few places will the impact of the signing, which is expected to be completed Tuesday, be felt more directly than in Southern California's Korean community, the largest in the U.S. 'The Korean community has been buzzing ever since rumors of Son Heung-min's potential move to LAFC began to spread,' said Kyeongjun Kim, a writer with The Korean Daily, the largest Korean-language media outlet in the U.S. 'The fact that a player of his caliber is coming to L.A. is monumental event. 'Son's move to the LAFC is as exciting — if not moreso — than when Chan-ho Park and Hyun-jin Ryu joined the Dodgers.' Luring Son, 33, away from Tottenham of the English Premier League, where he spent the last 10 seasons, came at a high price though. Although financial details of the signing were not announced, a league official with knowledge of the negotiations said the transfer fee easily topped the MLS-record $22 million Atlanta United paid to Middlesbrough in February for the rights to striker Emmanuel Latte Lath. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, put the price at $26 million, more than LAFC's total payroll of nearly $22.4 million, which is sixth-highest in the league. Yet, strangely, that could still prove to be something of a bargain and represents another signing coup for general manager John Thorrington who, over the past four seasons, has signed Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud, the most-capped and highest scorer for the French national team, respectively; Giorgio Chiellini and Gareth Bale, captains of the Italian and Welsh national teams, respectively; and Denis Bouanga, who led the MLS in goals in the last two full seasons. Thorrington didn't have to break the bank to do any of it. LAFC earned $10 million from it's participation in this summer's Club World Cup, money it then invested in Son. And despite the massive transfer fee, the team could actually profit financially from the deal since it has long believed a Korean star playing in Los Angeles would more than pay for itself in marketing and sponsorship deals, much the same way the Dodgers have profited off Japan's Shohei Ohtani. Kim said that's a very good bet. 'The passion and influence of Korean and Korean-American soccer fans should never be underestimated,' he said, noting that major European clubs with Korean players have begun posting online content in Korean. 'Korean broadcasters,' he predicted 'may seek to acquire broadcasting rights and new business opportunities could emerge. Son's arrival at LAFC will benefit not only the club but also the league as a whole.' The impact won't be limited to the Korean community, however. Son, who was one of the most popular players in the Premier League, speaks English well and has a positive and humble personality, which will make him easy to market across ethnic boundaries.

Andros Townsend has completed the most surprising transfer of the summer
The most surprising transfer of the summer is here, and it comes in the form of Andros Townsend. Townsend has been a bit of a journeyman of late, playing for Everton, Luton and Antalyaspor over the past four seasons. But now the former England international has secured a move to Thailand. Townsend completed his move to Kanchanaburi Power this week, marking a new adventure in south-east Asia. Kanchanaburi Power were promoted to the Thai top flight last season for the first time. Townsend is now one of seven allotted non-Thai players in the squad, joining former Real Sociedad winger Alain Oyarzun and Algeria international Mehdi Tahrat. 📸 Matt McNulty - 2024 Getty Images

San Antonio Spurs Make Critical Error In De'Aaron Fox Extension
On Monday, it was announced that the San Antonio Spurs agreed to an extension that will keep their star starting point guard De'Aaron Fox under contract through the 2029-30 season. The Spurs acquired Fox in a blockbuster three-team trade involving the Sacramento Kings and Chicago Bulls this past trade deadline. In 17 games with San Antonio (before being sidelined with a season-ending thumb surgery), Fox averaged 19.7 PPG, 6.8 APG, 4.3 RPG, and 1.5 SPG on 53.7% true shooting. Considering the Spurs invested a good deal of draft capital to pair him with their franchise big man, they are probably happy to have gotten this deal done. However, I'm not super sure they should be thrilled by how this turned out. The San Antonio Spurs Should Not Have Signed De'Aaron Fox To A Max Contract Extension I want to make one thing clear. I think Fox is an outstanding player, and on a personal level, I am always happy to see an athlete be rewarded for all their hard work. But at the end of the day, all NBA teams are bound by a salary cap and a finite number of resources. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that each player receives payment as close to their actual production value as possible. And in this instance, I think the Spurs failed to do that, thereby limiting their financial flexibility moving forward. As many of my readers are aware, I deploy a method for estimating player production value that is loosely based on the one used by Seth Partnow in his book, "The Midrange Theory." To learn more about it, check out this article here, but the general gist of it is that you multiply a player's production (measured by Dunks & Threes' Estimated Wins metric) by the amount a win costs (next season, a win is worth roughly 3.8 million dollars) to get their overall production value. Anyway, if Fox plays at the level he played at last year next season, he will be worth about 23.6 million dollars, which is 13.5 million dollars less than he is slated to make (and his extension doesn't even kick in until 2026-27). In 2026-27, that type of production would be worth 24.8 million (nearly half of what he's expected to make). Even if we granted Fox a cleaner bill of health (he only played 62 games last year), he would still be well behind the lofty figures he's getting paid. If Fox played 75 games at the rate he played at this past season, his production value would still only be 30 million in 2026-27 (the Spurs are on the hook for 49.6 million). Of course, injuries weren't the only thing that hindered Fox in 2024-25. Fox clearly wanted out of Sacramento months before he was actually moved, and that likely hindered his performance. A more accurate way to conduct this type of analysis would be to assume he plays closer to his 2022-23 self (his lone All-Star appearance). Still, he doesn't live up to his monster salary: De'Aaron Fox Is A Flawed Star This brings us to the "Flawed Star" concept I introduced nearly a year ago. Flawed stars are high usage players who sit in the league's upper echelon, usually in the borderline All-Star/top 50 range, but for one reason or another, they have a weak point that keeps them from being a true top 15-20 player in the association. For Fox, those variables are his jumper (career 33% 3-point shooter) and a good but not great passing profile relative to other primary ball handlers (83rd percentile Passer Rating, per Thinking Basketball). Flawed stars are incredibly valuable, but max contracts aren't really intended for them. So, when you sign a flawed star to a max contract, you create serious roster-building limitations for yourself in the future. As we've learned with the Phoenix Suns, the three-star model no longer works. So, the Spurs are going to have to hope that Fox and Victor Wembanyama (who will also command a max contract when the time comes) have enough firepower to be the two stars they can build their next contender around. The Spurs will need to compile the perfect amalgamation of role players to flank their star tandem. This is far from a futile operation, but it would certainly be a lot less difficult had they not given Fox a maximum extension.
