Tottenham Hotspur are working on making Heung-min Son’s wish come true, a few months after he left the North London club to join Los Angeles FC.
Son gave a decade of fantastic service to the North London club and has not only gone down as one of Tottenham’s biggest legends of the modern era, but also as one of the Premier League’s greatest ever icons.
The Spurs fans did not get an opportunity to say a proper goodbye to the 32-year-old as his final game in Tottenham colours came in the club’s pre-season tour to South Korea.
Last month, Son admitted that he wants to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a proper farewell, and the Lilywhites are ready to make his wish come true.
