The South Korean, after a long reflection, has come out: his new team will be LAFC, an MLS franchise.
The decision
Fabrizio Romano reports the news, referring to Son's communication to Spurs management and coach Frank. News that was in the air but that, for Tottenham, is a significant blow given the South Korean's charismatic and technical leadership.
Son's public words have also arrived to confirm the decision.
"I asked to leave Spurs. My decision has been made, I did my best here and now I need a new challenge. It's the most difficult decision of my life. I came to north London as a kid. I leave as a young man".
Son's numbers
Since 2015, Heung-Min Son has played for Tottenham Hotspur, a team with which he has become one of the absolute protagonists of the Premier League. From his arrival, he has stood out for his speed, ability to score with both feet, and tactical intelligence, earning a starting spot. With the Spurs, he has surpassed 100 goals, forming one of the most effective attacking pairs in the league alongside Harry Kane. Over the years, he has become a symbol of the club, and in 2023, he was named captain, the first Asian to wear the armband in the team's history.

Darwin Nunez future is clearer after failed striker bid
Liverpool striker has been tipped for a departure this summer. Under contract until 2028, it looks like the Uruguay international's race at Anfield is run. The 26-year-old failed to win over Arne Slot during the Dutchman's first season in charge - scoring only five Premier League goals and dropping out of the starting lineup completely in the second half of the campaign. 🔴 Shop the LFC Store 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the away range TODAY LFC x adidas Shop the home range today!

It has been speculated that Nunez could therefore be surplus to requirements - with Liverpool intending to sign a new No9 in his place. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Alexander Isak, of course, appears to be first choice in that regard but Liverpool will have to stump up another British record sum to land the £150m-rated Swede. Liverpool willing to sell Darwin Nunez's sale could therefore bring in some very welcome transfer income for sporting director Richard Hughes to follow on from the departure of Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich. The striker is rated at around £70m - with the club having fielded bids from Saudi Arabia in January and Al-Hilal are again at the table this summer. It is believed that Nunez favours a move to a European club but has already seen potential transfers to Atletico Madrid and Napoli disintegrate.
