"It was the most difficult decision I have made in my career. Such amazing memories. It was so hard to make the decision.

Tottenham was reportedly interested to have a deal from the Saudi Arabian clubs, which offered them high prices. However, as the 33-year-old was interested in making a move to Los Angeles FC in the MLS, they are currently discussing the deal. Son claimed that he wanted a new environment to push himself, which is the reason behind his Tottenham exit.
