Tottenham's 'Legend Treatment' against Son Heung-min continues.
British media Give Me Sports reported on the 4th (Korea time) 'Tottenham faced a decision on the No. 7 jersey as Son Heung-min prepared to leave the team. There is a possibility that it will not be used for now,' the exclusive report said.
Tottenham, Son Heung-min, who was itself, is leaving. In an off-season friendly match against Newcastle (England) held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd, he played a 'Tottenham farewell match'. Son Heung-min earlier decided to leave the team (Tottenham) this summer. I think I need to say something about this"It was one of the most difficult decisions to make while playing soccer. I think I did everything I could (at Tottenham) by winning the Europa League (UEL). I want to start over with new motivation in a new environment. I will exchange with fans and carry the trophy in a good mood. It's a difficult decision, but it's a team that's been together for 10 years. When I first came here 10 years ago, I was a boy who was not good at English. Now I'm leaving because I'm a man. I think there's a good time to say goodbye, too. I think it's a good time. It's hard, but I'm leaving at this time. I hope everyone understands this." Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said, `I don't know if tomorrow (against Newcastle) will be Son's final game, but I will start wearing the captain's armband. We will give Korean fans a certain time to say goodbye and allow them to receive respect and treatment."

Son Heung-min played his last game for Tottenham against Newcastle. As coach Frank vowed, Son Heung-min wore the captain's armband and walked on the ground. He was replaced by Mohamed Kudus in the 20th minute of the second half when the game was 1-1 and withdrawn to the bench. The 60,000 spectators who filled the Sangam bee gave a standing ovation. Tottenham and Newcastle players sent a 'Guard of Honor' to Son Heung-min. After hugging his teammates, Son went to the bench and shed tears. After the game, Son waved to the stands and circled the ground once. The teammates surrounded Son Heung-min and rinsed him. Son hugged his face and cried again. Frank said "The scene was so beautiful (the players of both teams patted each other on the back). "I felt respect for the Newcastle players as well as Tottenham. "Today is the last game."
Give Me Sports says: `Tottenham can leave the No. 7 jersey empty. Tottenham have fully respected Son's decision to take on a new challenge. Son Heung-min is now expected to join LA FC (USA). Tottenham continue to explore new attacking options. Tottenham are likely to have seven left until they find the right player to replace Son in the long run, he said.
Son Heung-min joined Tottenham through a transfer window in the summer of 2015. He scored 173 goals and 101 assists 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.
