In a shocking revelation ahead of the 2025 Coupang Play Series , Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has officially announced that he will be leaving the club this summer. The announcement was made during a press conference held on August 2 at TWO IFC in Yeouido, Seoul, just one day before Tottenham faces Newcastle United at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
This marks Son Heung-min’s third visit to Korea as a Tottenham player. Now under new head coach Thomas Frank , Spurs are continuing their pre-season tour in Asia. However, the biggest headline came not from the match but from Son Heung-min’s emotional farewell.
“It wasn’t an easy decision, but I’ve decided to leave the team this summer,” Son stated. “I felt it was only right to tell everyone before the match.”
Son Heung-min , who has played a key role at Tottenham for a decade, is currently being linked to major clubs in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League and MLS side LAFC . While he didn’t confirm his next destination, he expressed his commitment to focus on the upcoming match.
“I’m not here to say where I’m going next,” he explained. “Right now, my priority is tomorrow’s game, and I’ll give it my best.”
Reflecting on his time at the club, Son Heung-min called it “the hardest decision” of his football life.
“The past 10 years have been an incredible journey. I gave everything, every single day. Winning the Europa League felt like I had accomplished everything I could with this team,” he said. “It’s time for a new challenge in a different environment. I’m grateful to the club for understanding and supporting my decision.”
The Korean star concluded by expressing heartfelt gratitude to Tottenham , “Tottenham is where I grew the most as a footballer. I’m forever thankful.”
Fans around the world are now waiting to see where Son Heung-min will go next, but one thing is certain — his legacy at Tottenham Hotspur will never be forgotten.
