Tottenham Hotspur’s long-serving star Son Heung-min announced his exit from the club during a press conference in Seoul on August 2, 2025, alongside new manager Thomas Frank, while on the team’s pre-season tour. The 33-year-old South Korean, who joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, leaves after scoring 173 goals in 454 appearances across all competitions, including a pivotal role in their Europa League final victory over Manchester United in May 2025, securing Tottenham’s first trophy in 17 years.
Reflecting on his departure, Son described it as “the most difficult decision” of his football career, stating, “I came to North London as a kid – a very young age, a young boy came to London who didn’t even speak English. Leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment.”
In the Premier League, Son scored 127 goals, tying with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink for 16th on the all-time scorers list, surpassing legends like Dwight Yorke, Steven Gerrard, and Ian Wright, as detailed in the sports card above. His final appearance for Tottenham is expected in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle on August 3, 2025, in his home country.
Son is set to join Los Angeles FC in the MLS, with negotiations reportedly in the final stages, marking a new chapter for the South Korean star.
