Spurs captain Heung-Min Son has announced he will be leaving the club this summer. The 29-year-old has been at the north London club for a decade and is fourth on Spurs’ all-time top goalscorers list. Son is set to play his final game for Spurs vs Newcastle in South Korea on Sunday
Spurs head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed that Son will start and captain the team on Sunday.
Son wants to move to Major League Soccer despite renewed interest from Saudi Arabia. The MLS and LAFC, who have been strongly linked to the player, will now accelerate talks with Spurs over Son’s transfer.
“I have decided to leave the club this summer. Respectfully, the club is helping me with this decision,” said an emotional Son.
“It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career. Such amazing memories. It was so hard to make the decision.
“I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change – 10 years is a long time. I came to North London as a kid, 23 years old, at such a young age. I leave this club as a grown man, a very proud man.
