South Korean soccer star Son Heung-min will leave Tottenham Hotspur before the Premier League season begins, ending a decade-long spell with the North London club.

Reflecting on his decade at Spurs, Son admitted it was “the most difficult decision I made in my football career.” He recalled arriving as a 23-year-old who “even didn’t speak English” and leaving “as a grown man,” emphasizing the depth of his bond with the club and its fans.
