Heung-min Son has agreed to leave Tottenham and join MLS side LAFC this summer.
The 33-year-old, who joined Spurs in 2015, is set to play his last match for the club against Newcastle in a pre-season friendly on Sunday.
Son held a press conference alongside new Tottenham boss Thomas Frank on Saturday and publicly confirmed his decision to leave after 10 years in north London.
talkSPORT understands LAFC have a delegation in his native South Korea, where Spurs are currently on their pre-season tour.
Personal terms have already been agreed, while talks between the two clubs are at an advanced stage, with Son set to link up with former Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris in America.
Speaking before the friendly against Newcastle, an emotional Son said: “Before we start the press conference, I just want to share the information that 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.”
The winger added: “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.
“So and 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.”
Son is arguably the greatest international player in Tottenham history, sitting seventh on their all-time appearance list after featuring 454 times.
He also established himself in the Premier League's history books, scoring 127 times in England's top-flight and ending up 16th on the list of all-time top goalscorers, above the likes of Steven Gerrard and Ian Wright.
The South Korean's exit comes months after finally lifting his first trophy as club captain when Spurs won the Europa League in May.
What has been said about Heung-min Son's press conference?
talkSPORT co-host Tony Cascarino led the praise of Son's extraordinary Tottenham career after his exit was announced.
"I love players that give so much to a football club," the former Ireland striker said.
"He's never been on the front pages, never been a problem, never disrupted the camp, played second fiddle to Harry Kane for long periods, but was absolutely pivotal to his partnership with him.
"Ten years, perfect. He's lost half a yard, that has been detrimental to him as a player. But when I look at him, I just think what a great pro.
"If you're any manager, Thomas Frank would love to have kept him and worked with him, but I think he's done the right move.
"I mean, last year, watching him coming off the bench so often and even Spurs fans saying that someone's not quite the same player.
"He's been an absolute legend at the football club. And seemingly just a great lad to be around.
"He's been a true professional that fans should just applaud. And I think it's perfect timing for him to go on and pass a new challenge for him at 33."
