Heartfelt Farewell: Son Heung-min's Emotional Exit from Spurs
Tottenham Hotspur's Son Heung-min bid an emotional farewell in front of 64,773 fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. Set to leave the club, Son received a guard of honour as his team drew 1-1 against Newcastle. Speculation links him to MLS club Los Angeles FC.
Son Heung-min, the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, played what is likely his final match for the club on Sunday at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, drawing tears and applause from 64,773 fans. In a notable moment, James Maddison was taken off the field with a knee injury.
Son, 33, has been a staple of Spurs since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has been crucial in securing the club's first trophy victory in 17 years. Despite being under contract until 2026, he is anticipated to leave, with reports suggesting a move to Major League Soccer's Los Angeles FC.
The farewell game against Newcastle United ended in a 1-1 draw, highlighted by a guard of honour for Son from both teams. Meanwhile, Maddison, who returned post-injury from last season, suffered another setback, while the club recently signed Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich.
