Son Heung-min, after a decade at Tottenham Hotspur, expressed a heartfelt wish to properly say goodbye to Tottenham fans at the Hotspur Stadium, reflecting on his memorable and emotional journey with the club where he became the first Asian Premier League top scorer and a team captain during challenging times. Since moving to LAFC, Son has made a significant impact both on and off the field, scoring six goals in seven games and transforming team culture with his professionalism and kindness, earning admiration from teammates, coaching staff, and fans who eagerly seek his autograph.

Overall, Son's legacy spans impressive individual achievements, leadership in adversity at Tottenham, transformative influence at LAFC, and a role in South Korea's World Cup preparation, underscoring his stature as a global soccer superstar and respected figure.
