It was a compliment from Newcastle manager Eddie Howe. Tottenham and Newcastle finished the second game of the '2025 Coupang Play Series' held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd with a score of 1-1. Win or lose didn't matter. All eyes were on Son Heung-min. The match was Son Heung-min's last dance.
"It was a fierce game," coach Howe said at the press conference after the game. The start of the first half was disappointing. The first half of the game was better than the opponent. The opponent was a little better in the second half, but they were equal. It was good to finish the game without injury."
Newcastle's attention turned to ace striker Isaac as well. Isaac, who was rumored to be transferred to Liverpool, recently reported that negotiations were not going well and he joined Newcastle training. Director Howe "Of course I want to. I have the same answer while playing pre-season in Korea, but I don't know the exact situation. There are tasks to be done here, so I couldn't accurately grasp them. As for Isaac, other club officials are working, so I think we should go and talk."
As for this summer's transfer market, "Of course, I'm looking for players. Among the players on the market, there are players we want. You can't get everyone you want. There are difficulties because there is not much time left. I think we have to see how the market moves."
Park Seung-soo, who was recruited this summer, made his debut in Korea. It was impressive. Howe said "The scouting team is doing well. Similarly, within the club, we are looking at all leagues in detail if possible. I felt that Park Seung-soo was quite a talented player. It was impressive to see him training without fear. There was not much time. He was put into two games this time, and he was impressive both on the field and on the training ground. It made me look forward to the future."
He also mentioned Son Heung-min. When Son Heung-min was replaced in the 18th minute of the second half, Newcastle players also congratulated him sincerely. Son Heung-min said, "This was my last day at Tottenham. Son Heung-min has played as one of the best players in the English Premier League for the past decade, wearing a Tottenham jersey. It was a moving scene. Howe was "not prepared at all. At that moment, the players of both teams had no choice but to celebrate on the spot. He showed what kind of player he was and what kind of person he was. I was grateful to our players, and I was grateful to our players for sending me like that. He was the greatest player ever played in the EPL. He was an exemplary player not only on the field but also on the outside. It's a shame that one team didn't do it. Even if I lived in the same team, I think I'll see that. I think I'll remember him as the greatest player."
