Heung-Min Son recently opened up about his enduring love for Tottenham Hotspur, reminding fans why he remains one of the club’s most beloved figures.
Speaking warmly during an interview at the BMO Stadium, Son reflected on his journey with Spurs, his connection to the supporters, and his heartfelt wish to return to the club one day to say a proper goodbye. For him, the thought of stepping back into Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would be deeply emotional.
Son’s affection for Tottenham runs deep. Even after his move to LAFC, he continues to speak about the club with immense pride and gratitude. During his farewell, the South Korean star admitted feeling sad about not having the chance to say goodbye in person.
The timing of his transfer and Tottenham’s final preseason game in Korea meant he never got the moment he wanted with the fans who adored him. “I definitely want to say goodbye in person,” Son shared.
“Because of how the transfer happened and with our last game in Korea, I missed the chance to stand in front of them and thank them properly. They deserve to see me and hear it from me.”
Those words capture just how much Tottenham means to him. Throughout his years at the club, Son became more than just a top player he became a symbol of joy, hard work, and loyalty.
His infectious smile, humility, and consistent performances earned him admiration not just from Spurs fans, but from football lovers across the world.
LAFC manager Steve Cherundolo has played down speculation about an early return to Tottenham, emphasizing that Son is fully focused on his new challenge in Los Angeles.
Still, the emotional connection remains clear. Teammates like Ben Davies have spoken about how strange it feels without Son around, calling his departure “tough” for everyone involved.
Son himself admitted that Tottenham will always hold a special place in his heart, saying, “It’s always going to be a part of my life.”
Fans have been vocal about what Son represents to the club. On Reddit, one supporter described him as the perfect combination of talent and love for Spurs, saying, “No one has shown both individual greatness and love for the club like Sonny. He deserves a mural or even a statue.”
Another fan added that a standing ovation on the seventh minute a tribute to his shirt number would be inevitable when he returns. “It’ll be impossible to get a ticket for that game,” they joked, reflecting the enormous affection Tottenham supporters still hold for him.
Many fans also hope that with Daniel Levy no longer in charge, the club will handle farewells to legends differently. Some believe that Levy’s management strained relationships with departing players, including Harry Kane, who left for Bayern Munich without much ceremony.
In Son’s case, there’s a strong feeling among the fan base that he deserves a proper send-off one fitting for a player who gave everything to the badge.
Son’s bond with Tottenham goes far beyond goals or trophies. It’s about shared memories the comebacks, the celebrations, the heartbreaks, and the pure emotion he brought to every match.
Even from thousands of miles away, his heart remains tied to North London. His message is clear: Tottenham is home, and when the time comes, he wants to walk out at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium one last time not as an opponent, but as one of their own.
For Spurs fans, that moment can’t come soon enough.
