  • “I came to north London as a kid, 23 years old, such a young age. I leave the club as a grown man, a very proud man,” he said.
  • Son recently led Spurs to Europa League glory, ending the club's 17-year trophy drought with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United. He has made 454 appearances and scored 173 goals for the club since joining in 2015.
  • MLS side Los Angeles FC (LAFC) are reportedly leading the race to sign the forward.
