The Chinese Super League also drooled at Son Heung-min, who is preparing to transfer.
China's Sohu Dotcom said on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Son Heung-min will say goodbye to the English Premier League (EPL). Failed to advance to the Chinese Super League, it reported.
Tottenham, led by head coach Thomas Frank, will play a friendly match against Newcastle at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. Son Heung-min attended an official press conference held at TWO IFC in Yeouido, Seoul on the 2nd.
At the press conference, he opened his mouth about Son Heung-min's own future and made a surprise announcement. It was about wrapping up his company with Tottenham. Son Heung-min said, `In a way, I don't think it was an easy decision. Decided to leave the team this summer. I think I should say something about this. I'll try to enjoy the game as much as I can," he said directly.
Son Heung-min has already paid a lot of attention to his contract with Tottenham since last season. 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 has a big record of winning the English Premier League (EPL) scoring in the 2021-2022 season, and has virtually reserved Tottenham's legendary position by lifting the most important trophy to the Europa League title in the 2024-2025 season. When such a player announced his breakup himself, it was a huge shock to Tottenham fans and other soccer fans.
Son Heung-min's next destination is the U.S. Major League Soccer. Leading reporters have already admitted that the negotiations between Son Heung-min and LAFC have entered the final stage. Son Heung-min is expected to be able to adapt to the environment by playing the main role on the U.S. stage ahead of the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup.

In this situation, China was not left out. It seems that he looked beyond the opportunity to bring Asia's best soccer star to China. However, there is no way that China was in Son Heung-min's choice. China is also a recruitment that can only be imagined. Sohu said, `Son Heung-min missed the opportunity to play in the Chinese Super League. He is highly anticipating his trip to the United States.
Then 'Chinese fans demand Son Heung-min to play in the Super League, but the reality is not. There is no possibility of Son Heung-min joining the Chinese Super League. We have to struggle to match Son's salary to the clubs, and Son is not even interested in it, he said. Chinese fans' desire to see the best stars in Asia is expected to stop at the wind.
