Such a humble and hardworking player. Son stayed with us through the highs and the lows and will leave the club a legend. Best of luck in the MLS.
Kevin T, South London
He was brilliant. Son deserves full respect. Well done!

Son's statistics speak for themselves: 173 goals - the fifth highest for Spurs - and 101 assists in 454 games, with his 127 Premier League goals the joint 16th highest in the competition's history.
He holds the Spurs record for Premier League assists with 71, and in 2021-22 became the first Asian player to win the competition's Golden Boot, which he shared with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah on 23 goals.
After Spurs' record goalscorer Harry Kane moved to Bayern Munich in 2023, Son scored 17 goals and recorded 10 assists in 35 league games the following season.
Last season was the first in which Son, the club's three-time player of the year, failed to reach double figures for league goals since his debut campaign as Spurs finished one place above the relegation zone.
But goals should not be the only metric by which Son's influence is measured.
His 0.38 assists per 90 minutes in the league last term was his best return yet, as was his 0.68 big chances created per 90 - the fifth-highest in the league last season of players to play over 1,000 minute.
Perhaps the most telling stats are those which point to his impact on the rest of the team.
Spurs won 42% of the 24 league games Son started in 2024-25, compared to 7% without him, failing to win 13 of the 14 matches without their captain.
Given Spurs averaged 2.1 goals and 1.4 points per game with Son starting and only 1.0 goals and 0.4 points per game in his absence, Frank will need players to step up, including £55m summer signing Mohamed Kudus, who replaced him on Sunday.

Tottenham forward Son Heung-min is expected to join Los Angeles FC for around £20m after announcing his departure from the north Londoners over the weekend.
The 33-year-old has green lit what could be a record fee for Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs, potentially surpassing the £22.5m sum paid by Atlanta United to sign Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough in February.
The final details remain in discussion and Son is expected to enjoy some time in his native South Korea following his exit announcement, but his move to LAFC is now considered subject to paperwork and a medical.
So what next for Son Heung-min after Tottenham?
BBC Sport's Nizaar Kinsella has the latest on the South Korea international.
FT: Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle
Image source, Getty ImagesSon Heung-min made an emotional farewell as he played what is expected to be the final game of his Tottenham career in front of his adoring home supporters at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The South Korea forward was embraced by his Spurs team-mates and the opposing Newcastle players, and they performed a guard of honour when he was substituted in the 65th minute.
Having handed the captain's armband to Ben Davies, 33-year-old Son was welcomed off the pitch by the backroom staff and substitutes before he took his place on the bench, resting his head in his hands as he fought back tears.
"I didn't think I was going to cry at first," Son said. "But after hearing a few words from my teammates, leaving the club I've spent so much time with felt really tough.
"I felt really, really happy playing this match. Thanks to my fans, my teammates and also my opponents, I've had an unforgettable day.
"My career is not over yet, and I want to continue to bring the fans joy. I know I have more things I want to accomplish as a football player."

Son's goal against Burnley - where he took on the whole team from his own half - has to be in the top 10 PL goals of all time. Definitely a Spurs legend, let alone Premier League legend.

"There has been research about who has the best brand value among all South Korean people, and Son is almost always in top three along with top K-pop stars like BTS and Blackpink," Korean journalist Sungmo Lee told BBC Sport.
"One of the reasons for that is South Korean people regard him as the national treasure and pride of the country."
In South Korea, there are regular television programmes that are simply compilations of Son's best goals and assists, while a Son icon appears above the scoreboard to denote he is playing during live broadcasts of Tottenham matches in the country.
His face beams from giant billboards advertising anything from clothes to ice cream, and Son's picture has also appeared on the side of the capital's buses promoting tourism.
In Son's hometown of Chuncheon, about 50 miles from Seoul and where a football academy has been set up by the player and his family, there is a huge mural in his honour.

The word "legend" is used a lot, but with Son, it truly fits. A Premier League great. Seeing him lift the trophy in Bilbao is a memory for life. Nice one, Sonny!

Son Heung-min had already rejected Mauricio Pochettino before joining the Argentine at Tottenham and embarking on a 10-year love affair with Spurs.
In 2013, Pochettino had just taken charge of Southampton when he met with the then 20-year-old - who was already making a name for himself with Hamburg - his father, Son Woong-jung, and his agent.
Pochettino tried to convince Son that Saints, then in the Premier League, would be the ideal place to continue his football education, but the player moved to Bayer Leverkusen instead where he spent two years before finally linking up with Pochettino, who had been appointed Spurs boss 15 months earlier.
Yet he struggled to settle in his early days in London and asked to leave less than a year into a five-year contract before deciding to stay and fight for his place.
A decade after arriving, Son leaves with a Europa League winners' medal - as well as a sackful of individual prizes, including the 2021-22 Premier League Golden Boot, which he shared with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah after both players scored 23 times, and the Fifa Puskas award (presented to the scorer of the "most beautiful" goal of the calendar year) for that run and finish against Burnley in 2019.

As an Arsenal fan of 30 years or so, I have to say that Son has probably been the most dangerous player I've ever seen at Spurs. Shame he didn't get that goal against Man City, though..

Image source, Getty ImagesSon Heung-min was the most expensive Asian signing in the Premier League when the then 23-year-old arrived at Spurs in 2015 in a deal reportedly worth £22.5m.
"We love players who give so much to this club," Micky Hazard, an FA Cup (1982) and Uefa Cup (1984) winner with Spurs, says.
"Sonny will always be worshipped in these parts. When he first arrived, I didn't know much about him. Ten years on, he's leaving a Spurs legend."
Four days after beating Manchester United in a European final, great names from Tottenham's past formed a guard of honour for soon-to-depart manager Ange Postecoglou's side before the home game with Brighton on the final day of the season.
Ossie Ardiles, Pat Jennings, Keith Burkinshaw and Martin Chivers were among those who lined up on the pitch - along with Hazard.
"Sonny came up to each and every one of us, shook our hands, and said: 'Now I'm a legend'," adds former Spurs midfielder Hazard.
"Despite everything he achieved in 10 years at Spurs, he still didn't believe he was a legend until he won a trophy. I think there is something special about that, something beautiful. It says so much about his character."
FT: Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle
Image source, Getty ImagesSon Heung-min played his final game for Tottenham in a 1-1 pre-season friendly draw with Newcastle in his homeland of South Korea on Sunday.
Brennan Johnson opened the scoring early on for Spurs and paid tribute to his departing captain by performing Son's trademark celebration.
Harvey Barnes then equalised for the Magpies before the break.
Thomas Frank will be anxiously awaiting updates on the fitness of James Maddison who was stretchered off late on with a serious-looking injury.

Emotional to be seeing Son departing but probably the right time. A legend for Tottenham and (dare I say) the Premier League. Thanks for the memories Sonny!

Image source, Getty ImagesIt is the end of an era as Tottenham captain Son Heung-min confirmed he is leaving the club after 10 years.
The 33-year-old's final game was a friendly against Newcastle in his homeland of South Korea on Sunday.
He finishes with 173 goals in 454 competitive appearances and says leaving was "the most difficult one I have made in my career".
"I came to north London as a kid - a very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English," said Son. "Leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment.
"I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change - 10 years is a long time.
"I spent a lot of time reflecting on whether I wanted to experience football in a different environment, and I had those conversations with myself over and over again."
One of the biggest transfer stories over the weekend came from Spurs and the announcement that a club legend will be departing.
Son Heung-min played his final game for Tottenham in a pre-season friendly in Seoul, as he prepares for a likely transfer to MLS side Los Angeles FC.

Image source, Getty ImagesAlexander Isak returned to Newcastle training today after missing the club's tour of Asia and spending the first weeks of pre-season training alone in Spain.
However, the speculation surrounding the Sweden striker does not look any less likely to die down in the days and weeks to come.
On this live text, we will now move on from this Isak saga to look at the farewell for a Tottenham legend.
Before that, here's a quick look at all the completed deals in the Premier League this window.

Yes, Liverpool need a defender and Guehi is perfect, but saying that we don't need Isak is ridiculous. Nunez going means we have one striker in the squad. That isn't enough to win back-to-back... Biggest clubs go for the biggest players. Liverpool and Isak are the biggest right now.
Lewis, Portsmouth
Liverpool need Isak. Once Nunez goes will have no proper CF and we do need to strengthen the CB position. They need to sell on Robertson and Tsimikas and get back up there. We could also do with backup in the RB position as Frimpong is more of an WB.

I understand the interest in him…he’s not in Isak’s league.
He can blow hot and cold so there’s not so much 'buy or beware' but I do think the price is slightly inflated.
