The end of an era, Son Heung-min shed tears in the press conference, officially announced that he would bid farewell to Tottenham this summer

Ten years of white clothes, finally welcoming the farewell moment. At a press conference held in his hometown of Seoul on August 2, Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min held back tears in front of the media and officially announced his decision to leave the club this summer.

"Before starting this press conference, I want to inform everyone that I decided to leave Tottenham Hotspur Club."

10 years of white clothes, finally becoming a legend. For Tottenham, Son Heung-min's departure means the true end of an era.

In 2015, at the age of 23, he came to London and did not speak English. Ten years later, he has become the Asian scorer in the history of the Premier League, the Golden Boot in the 2021/22 season, and the fifth scorer in the history of Tottenham. In the post-Kain era, he carried the team as captain and eventually led the team to win the UEFA Cup. This is the first and last important championship trophy he won for Tottenham.

Retirement: For the last attempt of the World Cup

At the age of 33, Son Heung-min chose to leave at his peak in order to meet new challenges and make the best preparations for the 2026 World Cup, which may be his last World Cup.

He did not disclose his next stop at the press conference, but it is generally believed that considering that the 2026 World Cup will be held in North America, joining the Major League Soccer will be his most likely choice. Message from the inheritance

At the press conference, Son Heung-min also talked emotionally about his Korean compatriot and 19-year-old young player Yang Min-hyuk who is about to return to Tottenham. He hopes that the outside world can give Yang a positive environment and not use too much pressure to affect his growth. This shows his leadership style and inheritance spirit as an Asian football idol.

Son Heung-min's farewell is not sadness, but pride. With the halo of the championship trophy, he left with his head held high and dedicated his best decade to this London club. His lightning sprint, his signature shot and his eternal smile will be forever engraved in the hearts of Tottenham fans.
