Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with an unnamed club for a “talented” Spurs player to leave north London alongside Heung-min Son.
Heung-min Son set to leave Tottenham
Spurs captain Son is on course to become the club’s first major departure of the summer window.
After spending 10 years in north London and winning his first piece of silverware last season after lifting the Europa League, Son has announced his plans to leave the club before the new Premier League campaign.
“I've decided to leave the club in the summer. And respectfully, the club is helping me with my decision. So I just want to share this information before we start the press conference.
"It was the most difficult decision of my football career. I've been here ten years at a beautiful club with beautiful fans and having such amazing memories.
"And after all that, it was so hard to make this decision. But as I said, I feel like I need a new environment and to push myself. And to get more of me, I feel like I need a little bit of change. Ten years is a lot of time when you're thinking about it.
"I came to London as a kid. 23 years old, a very young age, [and] a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English. And [I'm] leaving this club as a grown man. This is a very, very proud moment.
"So I just wanna say thank you to all of the Spurs fans that gave me so much love. I felt like it was my home. But yeah, it was, it was one of the toughest decisions I've ever made.”
Mikey Moore and Alejo Veliz have already left on loan ahead of the 2025/26 season, and alongside Son, another highly-rated Tottenham gem is also set to depart.
Agreement reached for Jamie Donley to leave Tottenham on loan
According to reports from Lilywhite Rose, relayed by Tottenham News, Spurs have reached an agreement with an unnamed Championship club for Jamie Donley, with a deal set to go through following the club’s pre-season tour of South Korea.
The 20-year-old has featured under Thomas Frank in parts of pre-season, and there were claims that the attacking midfielder could be a part of the first-team plans in 25/26.
However, he now looks set to head to the second tier on a season-long loan after an impressive spell with Leyton Orient in League One last year.
Leyton Orient manager Richie Wellens loved what he saw from Donley last season, who stunned Manchester City in the FA Cup with a long-range effort.
“I can’t speak highly enough of Jamie, he is a talented player. He’s come into us and he is a talented boy, everyone can see that. When you watch him in training and you see the talent he has, he has every opportunity to be whatever he wants to be.
“We have been good in the last 14 or 15 games and he has been outstanding for us, he is an exceptional player at this level and will go on to bigger and better things.”
It now appears he is set for a step up into the Championship, and in 12 months time, could be pushing for a spot in Frank’s side.
