This is what Son Heung-min (Tottenham) says.
Tottenham, led by head coach Thomas Frank, will play a friendly match against Newcastle at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. Son Heung-min attended an official press conference held at TWO IFC in Yeouido, Seoul on the 2nd.
Son Heung-min "Thank you again for inviting me to a good meeting with Tottenham. The players are also looking forward to it a lot. I really hope I can play a good game. There is one thing I have to say. In a way, it didn't seem to be an easy decision. Decided to leave the team this summer. I think I should say something about this. I will try to enjoy it as much as I can so that I can enjoy the game."
Son Heung-min has been at the center of recent transfer rumors. He is known to receive attention from Saudi Arabia, Major League Soccer (MLS), and Fenerbahce (Turkiye). Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals in 454 games for Tottenham. During this period, Son Heung-min was honored with the joint top scorer (23 goals) in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2021-2022 season and the FIFA Pushcashi Award in 2020. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Pushkashi Award are the first and only milestone for an Asian player to date. Above all, he lifted the trophy in the Europa League (UEL) in the 2024-2025 season.
Meanwhile, it is Tottenham's third visit to Korea. Tottenham visited South Korea in 2022 and 2024, and this year. Tottenham played one game each against Sevilla in Spain's Primera Liga and the 2022 K-League All-Star. Last year, they clashed with Team K League and German powerhouse Bayern Munich.
