On a tearful Sunday night in his home country of South Korea, departing Tottenham captain Son Heung-min was in tears and was thrown into the air by his teammates.
Although Spurs and Newcastle drew 1-1 in a preseason friendly in Seoul, the 33-year-old attacker’s goodbye was more important.
Son played 65 minutes but failed to score in what might have been his final match for the North Londoners at Seoul World Cup Stadium, one day after declaring his intention to quit Tottenham this summer after ten years.Nearly 65,000 spectators gave him a standing ovation as he exited the field, embracing both his opponents and teammates.
