Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min has announced that he will leave the club this summer.
The 33-year-old South Korean joined the north London side from German outfit Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and will leave after helping Spurs win the UEFA Europa League last season, their first trophy in 17 years.
Ahead of Spurs' match against Newcastle United on Sunday in Seoul, South Korea, Son's homeland, the club captain said: "Before we start the press conference, I wanted to say I have decided to leave the Club this summer."
"It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career. Such amazing memories."
"I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change - 10 years is a long time. I came to north London as a kid, 23 years old, such a young age. I leave this club as a grown man, a very proud man.
"I want to say thank you to all the Spurs fans for giving me so much love. I hope the goodbye is also good timing and this is the right time to make that decision. I hope everyone can accept that and respect that."
Head coach Thomas Frank added: "For me, personally, I would have loved to have worked with this fantastic person and player.
"He is a true Spurs legend in every aspect, one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League. It is never easy to find the perfect timing and me coming in from the side, it makes it a bit easier to end on a high."
Son's career at Spurs
Son leaves Spurs as one of the club's greatest players after making 454 appearances in all competitions, the seventh-most in their history.
In that time he scored 173 goals, the fifth-most in Spurs' history, with 127 of them coming in the Premier League.

And after lifting the Europa League last season, Son became just the 13th Spurs captain to lift a trophy for the club.
