Captain Son Heung-min Remains at Tottenham after Ten Years
- Son Heung-min announced his desire to stay at Tottenham.
- The friendly match against Newcastle could be his last.
- Son's new team could be Los Angeles FC from MLS.
Captain of Tottenham Hotspur Son Heung-min announced his desire to stay with the club this summer. At a press conference in Seoul, he noted that this was one of the most significant decisions in his career. Son informed the club and new coach Thomas Frank about his intention to remain with the team at the beginning of the summer.
Currently, Tottenham is preparing for the preseason tour in East Asia, where the team will play a friendly match against Newcastle United in Seoul. This game could be the last for Son in the Tottenham squad.
Son joined Tottenham in September 2015 and during this time scored 173 goals in over 450 matches. In April, he helped the team win the UEFA League, which became the club's first trophy in 17 years. His legendary status at the club is secured, but now he feels the need for a new challenge.
Son expressed that he wants to play regularly before the upcoming World Championship, which will take place in the USA, Canada, and Mexico. He wants to potentially join clubs from Saudi Arabia, but he prioritizes a move to MLS's Los Angeles FC, where his former teammates from Tottenham play.
Tottenham wants to ensure a smooth exit for Son, recognizing his contribution to the club over the last ten years. The new coach, Frank, emphasized that Son remains a professional, regardless of discussions about his future.
Son returned to training after a break and is now actively considering the possibility of meeting fans during the last match in Seoul, where he will meet thousands of supporters.
