Un día después de anunciar su inminente salida de Tottenham tras una década con el club, el astro surcoreano Son Heung-min recibió una emotiva despedida

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.

A day after announcing his imminent departure from Tottenham after 10 years with the club, Son Heung-min was given an emotional farewell Sunday by his teammates, Newcastle players and almost 65,000 fans at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
