For Son Heung-min, Hishalisson came forward.
Son Heung-min ended his final journey at Tottenham with Newcastle United at 8 p.m. on the 3rd at Seoul World Cup Stadium, playing two games '2025 Coupang Play Series'. Son Heung-min, who had already announced his last match at Tottenham at a press conference on the 2nd, is scheduled to be his last match against Newcastle in a Tottenham uniform. He said he would break up with Tottenham after this summer.
It is a legend of Tottenham that no one can deny. Son Heung-min, who has played for as many as 10 years since joining Tottenham in 2015, has made his name in Tottenham history with 173 goals in 454 games. He also won the FIFA (International Football Federation) Puskas Award, four EPL Player of the Month Awards, and nine best footballers in Asia, and became the first Asian player to win the English Premier League (EPL) top scorer in the 2021-2022 season. He also has a big winning record, and he actually booked Tottenham's legendary position by lifting the most important trophy to win the Europa League in the 2024-2025 season. The news that he was leaving Tottenham was sad for fans.

In his final match in Tottenham's uniform, Son worked hard on the field for his fans. In the 18th minute of the second half, he headed from the ground to the bench with a replacement sign announcing Son Heung-min's last. All the players and staff in the stadium stood up and watched Son Heung-min's last, pouring out applause and cheers. Tottenham and Newcastle approached Son Heung-min and congratulated him on the end. Son Heung-min ended his career at Tottenham with applause from everyone.
When Son Heung-min was confirmed to leave Tottenham, a player who followed Son Heung-min immediately began to make a request to the club. It was the establishment of a statue. After the game, Hishalisson tagged the club's official account by posting a picture of Son Heung-min's statue on his personal SNS. 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.
Meanwhile, Son's likely destination is LAFC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS). It is a team where Hugo Lloris, Son Heung-min's former teammate, is playing, and it is a prestigious MLS representative. For Son Heung-min, it is a good transfer option that can help prepare for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup, which can be his last World Cup. Tom Bogert, a reporter familiar with the news of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), said 'LAFC has signed contracts with Tottenham and Son Heung-min. The recruitment is in the final stages.'
