Tottenham Captain Son Heung-min Confirmed Leaving Club This Summer

Son Heung-min, Tottenham Hotspur's captain and a key figure for the club over the past decade, announced he will leave Tottenham this summer, describing it as the most difficult decision of his career. The 33-year-old, who joined Spurs in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen, cited the need for a new environment and fresh challenge after achieving all he hoped for, including leading the team to their first major trophy in 17 years with the 2024 UEFA Europa League win. Son made 454 appearances and scored 173 goals for Tottenham, winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2021-22 season. While he has not confirmed his next destination, MLS side LAFC and Saudi clubs are reportedly interested. Tottenham are actively seeking replacements, with Paris Saint-Germain's Randal Kolo Muani and Liverpool winger Harvey Elliott among the potential targets, alongside efforts to strengthen the midfield with players like Joao Palhinha. The club faces a significant rebuilding phase as they prepare for the next Premier League season without their long-time leader.
