Son Heung-min recently announced that he would leave the team this summer, ending his 10-year career as Tottenham. Post reporter Craig Hope said that Son Heung-min is a Tottenham legend who is greater than Kane.
The article read: On the summer when Kane and Neville strolled on the golf course and publicly expressed their desire to leave Tottenham, Son Heung-min quietly promised the club that he would devote his peak years to Tottenham.
After signing a new five-year contract with the team, Son Heung-min ushered in his best season at Tottenham, he won the Premier League Golden Boot with 24 goals, which is why his departure is more regrettable than Kane's departure two years ago.
Although Kane, like Son Heung-min, is a very friendly player, the bond with the fans may be destroyed or even broken when a player actively seeks a transfer, while the emotional bond between Son Heung-min and Tottenham fans has always been indestructible.
In fact, in the past 24 hours, with the news that Son Heung-min is about to finish his last game for Tottenham, the only "liquid" is the tears shed by the fans. These tears not only flow in the UK, but also in Son Heung-min's motherland, South Korea.
Son Heung-min himself sat down in Seoul to confirm his decision to transfer and revealed that Los Angeles FC will be his next stop. This news completely opened the emotional floodgates.
We are used to seeing Son Heung-min ride through, stop, wait, and then start again, usually following a bunch of helpless defensive players, we will never forget his 80-yard rushing one-stop score in 2019 against Burnley.
In a press conference announcing his departure from Tottenham, Son Heung-min said it was a new beginning, spending 10 years in North London, 454 games and 173 goals, and it was not until May this year that he finally won his first trophy.
Son Heung-min only played as a substitute until the second half when he played against Manchester United in the Europa League final, which partly explained why he decided to leave, and he knew it was time.
fans, club and new head coach Thomas Frank also agrees with this, and there is nothing to be ashamed of for 33-year-old Son Heung-min. He has fulfilled his promise and dedicated his best years. But now he is not as good as before.
Despite the passage of time, fans' love for him has never diminished. Compared with Kane, Gascoin, Sheringham, and David Ginora, Son Heung-min seems to be more deeply loved. This is also the hardest part of his decision, not for football or financial considerations, but for leaving the place and people he sees as home.
According to club insiders, Son Heung-min's performance in Hong Kong, China was relatively low-key, and he won respect for his contribution and personality. Son Heung-min is not only a legend on the court, but also a model for dealing with people. He has established a good image for Tottenham, English football and even the entire Premier League.
Sun Heung-min said that it is an honor to spend 10 years in the Premier League, and this honor actually belongs to all of us.
