Spurs captain Son Heung-min to leave English Premier League club
At a media conference in Seoul, Son, appearing at times to be holding back tears, said his decision to leave the Spurs was 'the most difficult" of his career and said the club was supporting him as he looks to move on to another team.
Spurs will face Newcastle United in a preseason friendly on Sunday in Seoul in what could be the final match of Son's time at Spurs.
"Before we start the press conference, I just want to share the information that I have decided to leave this club in this summer," Son said. "Respectfully, this club is helping me to my decisions. So I just wanted to share this information before we start the conference."
"I came to North London as a kid, 23 years old, very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English and leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment."
He continued his tribute by thanking Tottenham fans.

England Players Have A Nickname For Mohammed Siraj: 'They Call Him Mr...'
Last Updated: Nasser Hussain has revealed a hilarious nickname that England players have for Mohammed Siraj. Former England captain Nasser Hussain has revealed that Ben Stokes' team has a nickname for Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj — Mr. Angry — because of his fiery nature on the field. Hussain gave it out in his tribute for Siraj, calling him a 'born entertainer' with everything from passion and skill to succeed at this level. Siraj won India the Oval Test with nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul in their defense of 374. He had some forgettable moments, like dropping Harry Brook when he was new at the crease and then seeing him hit a century, but didn't let it deter his belief to script India's narrowest win, by six runs, and one of the best comebacks. He ended the series, drawn 2-2, as the highest wicket-taker with 23 wickets. 'He's fiery, the England boys call him Mr. Angry, and he has the longest follow-through in the history of the game, but he demands your attention," Hussain wrote in his column for The Daily Mail. 'You could do a montage of the histrionics – down on his knees in despair at Lord's, the celebrations and dejection when DRS decisions go one way or another." 'He's a born entertainer, but crucially he's got all the other attributes you need at the highest level: heart, passion, and ultimately skill. He's gone from being a hit-the-deck bowler using wobble seam to trap people LBW – as he did with Joe Root – to one who has developed outswing so big that Shubman Gill wasn't interested in taking the second new ball," he added. 'Then, there is the fabulous yorker, such as the one to Crawley late on day three. He went to it again just before midday, knowing that Gus Atkinson was trying to hit him over midwicket for a second six that would have tied the game, nailing it under the most immense pressure. If Siraj gets it wrong, India lose the series, so it was perfect execution from a champion cricketer that has unfairly courted controversy over the past month," Hussain said. Earlier, even Root had called out Siraj for his 'fake-aggression'. Speaking light-heartedly and with praise for the Indian pacer, the English batter said he sees right through Siraj's antics while batting. 'I will miss it': Nasser Hussain on India-England series Hussain summarised the frantic final day of the series, saying he'll miss it now that it's over. 'Now it's finished, I will miss it. So incredible has it been that it makes you wonder why this format is ever questioned? If you landed someone 30 days ago and took them around this country's Test match venues, asking them: Is this thing we call Test cricket working? They'd look at you funny. It's so bloody good," Hussain said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
