Tottenham legend Son Heung-min has made it clear he is planning to return to London to say goodbye to the club's supporters after departing for LAFC in August
Tottenham legend Son Heung-min has revealed he is planning to return to London to say a proper goodbye to Spurs supporters. The Europa League-winning captain called time on his 10-year stay in N17 this summer when he completed a £20million transfer to MLS side LAFC in August.
However, Son's final appearance for the club was in Seoul when Tottenham played a pre-season friendly match against Newcastle. He left the field in tears to a standing ovation and both sets of players also formed a guard of honour. However, speaking during an interview with Shoot for Love, the 33-year-old made it clear he is already plotting a return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium so he can pay tribute to the club's supporters. He said: "I definitely think this is the right time to say, because at the time the transfer was going on and the last game was in Korea, obviously I will go back to London to see all the Spurs fans. "I think I deserve to say goodbye in front of all of them, and also, they deserve to see me in a physical sense to say goodbye. It’s going to be a very emotional day as well, but I think I definitely can’t wait to go back to London and see all the Spurs fans."
Son is yet to confirm details of when he might return to England. LAFC are currently gearing up for the MLS Cup play-offs when they will face Austin FC.
The South Korean superstar has taken to the MLS like a duck to water, netting nine times in 10 appearances while also registering three assists.
Back in September, he struck a memorable hat-trick in a 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake.
During the summer, Spurs put the ball in Son's court and allowed their attacker to decide his own future.
The prolific forward felt the historic Europa League triumph in Bilbao was the perfect way to sign off before he later announced he would be leaving Tottenham on August 2.
Unsurprisingly, merchandise sales in the United States soared following Son's arrival in Los Angeles.
In fact, he quickly became the top-selling athlete for jersey sales across the Fanatics Network within the first two days after he put pen to paper with LAFC.
Only Lionel Messi of Inter Miami sold more jerseys during the 2025 MLS season, which is quite the achievement considering Son only joined LAFC in August.
