Tottenham captain Son Heung-min announced on Saturday that he plans to leave the club this summer after spending ten years in north London. The 33-year-old forward joined the Premier League team from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has made over 450 appearances for Spurs.
He lifted the Europa League trophy in May, but had an overall disappointing season by his high standards, struggling with multiple leg injuries.
Before we start the press conference I wanted to say I have decided to leave the club this summer, the South Korean told reporters in Seoul, where Tottenham are on a pre-season tour.
Respectfully the club is helping me with this decision.
Son, who has netted 173 goals for Spurs, did not disclose his next destination and appeared visibly emotional. He has been rumoured to be contemplating a move to the MLS in the United States.
