Son Heung-min has said farewell to Tottenham after a storied career, but his departure will not affect his legacy as one of the club's greatest of all-time

Son Heung-min may have played his last match as a Tottenham Hotspur footballer, and it couldn't have happened at a better place — in front of an entire country who adores him at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Aug.

Son Heung-min paused for a few seconds, struggling to say the words that were about to shatter the heart of every Tottenham Hotspur supporter. When Spurs visit South Korea during pre-season, Son always speaks to the local media. He is captain of his country’s national team and probably the most high-profile Asian footballer of all time.
