A long article containing a lot of unusual content continued. It was not just a withdrawal announcement, but it was like a farewell speech detailing what kind of history Son Heung-min has made at Tottenham and what kind of contribution he has made.
Tottenham first mentioned Son Heung-min's history and achievements at Tottenham.
Tottenham say Son Heung-min, 33, joined Tottenham Hotspur 10 years ago in August 2015 and has established himself as one of the greatest players in club history. South Korea's national team Son Heung-min scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Lili White (Tottenham), the fifth-highest score in club history, referring to Son's record.

He then explained in detail about Son Heung-min's achievements and monumental scenes in the team. Son Heung-min, who took over as captain in 2023, has made numerous memorable moments on the field in his 10 years at the club. 'In April 2019, he made history by scoring his first official goal at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and later in the same season, he was a key player for the first Tottenham team to reach the Champions League final, scoring important goals in the round of 16 and quarterfinals.'
He went on to reveal his personal award records in detail. 'Sonny won the FIFA Puskas Award for his fantastic solo goal across the pitch against Burnley in 2020. He dribbled across the field and shook the net. Son Heung-min, a great goalscorer and outstanding scorer, won the Golden Boot in the 2021-2022 season by scoring 23 Premier League goals with his personal skills. Son was recorded as the most goalscoring Asian player in EPL history while playing for the club, and not only led South Korea to victory at the 2018 Asian Games, but also set a record of being named the best soccer player in Asia nine times,' he explained.

The most focused part was on the achievement of winning major competitions. Tottenham's greatest achievement in club uniform came in May 2025 when Sonny led the club to a UEFA Europa League victory in Bilbao. This made him a name in Tottenham's history and made him one of the 13 captains to lift a major trophy in Tottenham's history, concluding Son's achievements and memories.
Tottenham Chairman Daniel Levy's farewell speech followed. Levy said "Sonny is one of the best players of all time to wear the Lilywhites, and it has been a great pleasure to watch his performance over the last decade. Not only was he a player of great talent, but he was also an amazing person who moved and inspired the hearts of the club and people all over the world."
Levy then said "The Europa League win in Bilbao was a truly magical moment in the club's history, and Sonny lifting the trophy is the perfect memory to forever remember the fantastic decade he spent at Tottenham Hotspur. Sonny has contributed so much to the club both on and off the pitch, and we will be forever grateful for this. Best wishes for his future and he will always be welcomed at the club as part of the lovely and dear Spurs family" declared. In fact, it can be interpreted as the appointment of a lifelong club ambassador.
