South Korea International, Son Heung-min, has announced plans to leave Tottenham Hotspurs this summer.

Son, who is Spurs captain, announced his planned departure from the London side after 10 years to the media on Saturday.

He said, “I came to north London as a kid – a very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn’t speak English. Leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment.”

The South Korean star will join major league soccer side Los Angeles FC after the end of his contract with Spurs.

Son, 33, joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, netting 173 goals in 454 appearances for the London side.

The Korean talisman led Spur to their first trophy in 17 years, winning the Europa League final against Manchester United last season.
