Tottenham wrapped up their trip with Son this summer. The journey of 10 years has come to an end. Son Heung-min has already made history as a Tottenham legend. In August 2015, he left Leverkusen to join Tottenham and set foot on the England stage. It's been a decade of companionship. In the meantime, Son Heung-min has reached the peak in the EPL, writing achievements that could not have been imagined by an Asian player. He failed to reach the top in the 2019 European Champions League final, but in 2020, he won the FIFA Puskas Award for his 72m wonder goal against Burnley.
In the 2021-2022 season, he won the EPL Golden Boot and became Asia's first EPL top scorer. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Puskas are the first and only Asian players to date. And he finished his last as a true legend by breaking Tottenham's spectatorship in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min wore the captain's armband and delivered the gift of the Europa League (UEL) trophy to his team. It was the first time in 17 years since the top of the league cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season.

Colleagues also couldn't hide their sadness from the breakup with club legend Son Heung-min. Some colleagues even swallowed their tears in their last training session. Farewells also poured in. Among them, Hishali Song's farewell and SNS posts caught the attention of fans. Hishalisson tagged the club's official account by posting a picture of Son Heung-min's statue on his personal SNS after the match against Newcastle, which was just three months before Son Heung-min's last game for Tottenham. He publicly asked the club to start building Son Heung-min's statue with the words "Please".
He also left a long goodbye message. Hishalisson said to Son Heung-min "Sony, it would be strange to see you when I looked sideways in the stadium. Not only are you a great friend, but you are also a leader, a professional, and an example as a human being. He made history wearing a Tottenham uniform. I'm so happy to lift an important championship with you. You deserve to win. May your future be full of joy, health, and success. It was an honor. I'm sure we'll be able to meet again. Thank you" for your appreciation.
Fans also joined Hishali Song's claim. When the post became known to the fan community, local fans in the U.K. expressed their wish to have it," he said, urging Son to make a statue.
