South Korean forward struggles to hold back tears while announcing news at a press conference in Seoul
After 10 years with Tottenham Hotspur, captain Son Heung-min announced on Saturday that he plans to leave the English Premier League club.
At a media conference in Seoul, Son, appearing at times to be holding back tears, said his decision to leave the Spurs was “the most difficult” of his career and said the club was supporting him as he looks to move on to another team.
Spurs will face Newcastle United in a pre-season friendly on Sunday in Seoul in what could be the final match of Son’s time at Spurs. He played 15 minutes in his side’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal in Hong Kong on Thursday, with his appearance drawing one of the biggest cheers of the evening at Kai Tak Stadium.
