Son Heung-min has shared an emotional statement with Spurs fans on Instagram after completing his £20m move to LAFC.
“How to find the right words for this? I don’t know. I have been thinking for days. It’s impossible. But here I go,” Son wrote.”It’s time for me to say goodbye to Tottenham Hotspur. My home for the past decade. When I arrived in 2015, I didn’t speak English, I didn’t know London, but you welcomed me with open arms, believed in me, and stood by me through every high and low. I was just a boy from Korea with big dreams who was supposed to have no chance. And now, 10 years later, North London is in my heart forever. “I’ve made friends for life here, had the honour of becoming a godfather here, and had the privilege of captaining our special club here. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this club, which makes this the hardest decision ever. I thought if I was ever going to leave, it would have to be on my terms, on the best terms, when our mission had been accomplished together. With pride and honour. “My debut was something else, the Puskas award was cool, winning the Golden Boot was an honour, but becoming European Champions in Bilbao… that was for life. We will share that night, that moment, and that trophy for the rest of our lives.”And so, to all of you, the supporters reading this. Thank you for your love, your support, and your trust that you’ve had in me for the last decade. To everyone at the club, the chairman, my managers and all who have been alongside me each day in training, in the canteen, travelling, playing, hurting, recovering, winning… Thank you.”To everyone, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I hope I made you all proud.”
