Tottenham said on the club's website on the 5th (Korea Standard Time) that `President Levi is leaving the team' and that he will step down as chairman after a 25-year journey. Key appointments have been made in recent months as part of the succession plan. Former Arsenal CEO Vinay Venkatesham has been hired as the new CEO. Peter Charrington joins the board of directors to take on the newly established non-executive chairmanship,' the release said.

Son Heung-min was on the list along with Gareth Bale, Luca Modric, Germaine Defoe and Jan Vertonghen. Tottenham News recently reported that Son Heung-min recently left Tottenham for LAFC for a transfer fee of about £20 million. His achievements are incomparable in the club's modern history. Son Heung-min has played well for Tottenham for 10 years and has scored more than 170 goals in more than 450 games. After moving from Leverkusen in 2015, he established himself as a true Tottenham legend and led the team as captain for two seasons after Hugo Lloris left. 'Considering that most of the £22 million transfer fee originally invested by Levy was also returned a decade later, Son deserves to be one of Levy's best businesses,' he explained.
In fact, Son Heung-min changed the club's history for 10 years after joining Tottenham in 2015. Both the EPL's top scorer and the Puskas Award are the first and only milestone for Asian players to date, and Tottenham's long history of irrelevance was also cut by winning the Europa League in the 2024-2025 season. He made his name in Tottenham history with 173 goals and 101 assists in 454 games for Tottenham. Chairman Levi is the most proud recruit.
