Son in tears as he bids emotional farewell to Spurs in Seoul
SEOUL: Departing Tottenham captain Son Heung-min was in tears and his team-mates threw him in the air on an emotional evening in his native South Korea on Sunday. Spurs drew 1-1 with Newcastle in a pre-season friendly in Seoul but that was secondary to the farewell for the 33-year-old attacker. In what could have been his final game for the north Londoners, Son played 65 minutes but did not score at Seoul World Cup Stadium, a day after announcing his decision to leave Tottenham this summer after a decade. He left the pitch to a thunderous ovation from nearly 65,000 fans, hugging his teammates and even his opponents. The South Korean captain was caught offside twice in the early going, as his teammates tried to create opportunities for him, but didn't really assert himself on the match otherwise. Son was replaced in the 65th minute by Mohammed Kudus and he walked off in tears as thousands of fans chanted his name. "I didn't think I was going to cry at first," Son said. "But after hearing a few words from my teammates, leaving the club I've spent so much time with felt really tough. "I felt really, really happy playing this match. Thanks to my fans, my teammates and also my opponents, I've had an unforgettable day." Son, who has been linked with LAFC in Major League Soccer, declined to reveal his next destination, saying: "Nothing has been finalised." Tottenham coach Thomas Frank said he enjoyed the "unbelievable, beautiful scenes" Son had with players from both sides on his way off the pitch. Newcastle boss Eddie Howe said his players' reaction to the end of Son's night had not been planned ahead. "I think it was very instinctive from the players," Howe said. "I think that speaks volumes for him as a person and him as a footballer that both teams recognise the way he's played the game." Brennan Johnson's right-footed strike opened the scoring for Tottenham in the fourth minute, and the Welsh forward paid homage to Son by mimicking the South Korean star's camera celebration.

Son Heung-min, Tottenham captain, confirms exit after 10 years; says 'It is the most difficult decision'
Son Heung-min, Tottenham Hotspur's iconic captain, has confirmed his departure from the club this summer, describing it as the 'most difficult decision' of his career. The 33-year-old South Korean star made the emotional announcement during a press conference in Seoul while on the Spurs' pre-season tour of Asia. Since joining Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son Heung-min has been a significant part of the club. He has scored 173 goals in 454 appearances across all competitions. As captain, he led with passion, becoming a fan favourite. Despite a tough 2024-25 Premier League season, where he netted seven goals as Spurs finished 17th, Son's achievement as a captain came in May 2025, lifting the Europa League trophy after a victory over Manchester United in Bilbao. 'Winning a title in Europe felt like I had achieved everything I possibly could,' Son expressed. Son Heung-min's individual honours include sharing the 2021-22 Premier League Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah, winning FIFA's Puskas Award in 2020 for a breathtaking solo goal against Burnley. He has also secured Tottenham's Player of the Year award three times between 2019 and 2022. As captain, he leaves as the club's fifth all-time top scorer, behind legends like Harry Kane and Jimmy Greaves. Speaking alongside new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank in Seoul, Son explained his need for a new challenge. 'I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change, 10 years is a long time,' he said. 'I came to North London as a kid, 23 years old, such a young age. I leave this club as a grown man, a very proud man,' he added. The decision, made after deep reflection and discussions with the club, was supported by Spurs, who respected their captain's choice to seek fresh horizons. Frank, who hinted at Son's potential exit in July, lauded the captain's legacy. 'He is a true Spurs legend in every aspect, one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League,' Frank said. Speculation surrounds Son's next move, with Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer (MLS) expressing interest, having signed former Spurs captain Hugo Lloris in 2023. Notably, no official bid has been made, and interest from Saudi Arabian clubs remains absent.
