Asia s No. 1 announced goodbye to the Premier League! The reason for leaving Tottenham is revealed, and the next stop of his career is revealed

On August 2, Asian superstar Son Heung-min, who will represent Tottenham Hotspur in the pre-season warm-up match with Newcastle, has attracted much attention. This time he also followed Tottenham Hotspur back to his motherland, South Korea, to participate in the competition. However, the Tottenham captain suddenly made a big statement at the pre-match press conference, announcing his plans to leave the Tottenham club. Son Heung-min said: "I have decided to leave Tottenham this summer. The club respects my decision very much. I need a new environment to meet new challenges."

One stone caused a thousand waves. The Tottenham captain suddenly threw out such a statement without any warning before, which caught all the fans and public opinion media who supported him. The 33-year-old Asian king has been playing for Tottenham for 10 years, and he has conquered the Premier League with his outstanding personal performance. As the active captain of Tottenham Hotspur, the Korean has played for this Premier League team for 10 years. With his outstanding personal skills and personal charm, he has long been recognized by picky Tottenham fans.

Son Heung-min transferred to Tottenham Hotspur for 30 million euros from Leverkusen in 2015, and made 454 appearances during his 10-year period, contributing 173 goals and 101 assists. His goals are third in the team's history scorer list (second only to Kane and Greaves). He also won the UEFA Cup 24/25 season with the team, and won the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals in the 21/22 season.

As a flagship figure in Asian football, Son Heung-min's sunny and healthy image is deeply loved by fans, and his personal label has long been deeply tied to Tottenham, becoming an important killer weapon for this Premier League giant to open up the Asian market. Because of the existence of Asia's number one player, Tottenham's attention and ratings in Asian countries have remained high in recent years. Whether from a competitive and business perspective, Son Heung-min can be regarded as one of Tottenham's most successful signings in the past decade.

Recalling Son Heung-min's career in Europe, he has long surpassed his senior Che Fangen and Japanese superstar Shinji Kagawa to become the highest-achieving Asian player in the history of the five major European leagues. The reason why Son Heung-min was able to succeed in the Premier League is inseparable from his own football talent and personal efforts, which was closely related to his beginnings of being influenced by the European youth training system when he was only 16 years old.

According to data statistics, Son Heung-min was born on July 8, 1992 in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, South Korea. From the youth training camp of FC Football Club in Seoul, South Korea. In 2008, Son Heung-min, who was only 16 years old, joined the Hamburg Club in Germany for training. In July 2010, 18-year-old Son Heung-min signed a formal professional contract with Hamburg Football Club. From then on, it began to make its mark in the Bundesliga. His five-year Bundesliga career also laid the foundation for him to enter the Premier League at the age of 23.

Although many Tottenham fans were sad after learning about Son Heung-min's departure, the reality of the cruel competition in professional football must also be faced. With the new coach Frank taking office, the team is about to usher in a reconstruction. The 33-year-old Asian leader is not within Frank's main reconstruction framework due to his decline in form. Son Heung-min, who can play as center and left winger on the court, must give up the main position for the newcomer, and the Asian No. 1 player who cannot accept substitutes can only choose to leave.

According to domestic media citing foreign media, Asian kings prefer to go to the American League, and the deal to sign Son Heung-min by Los Angeles FC is close to completion.
