Son Heung-min returned to Tottenham this week as he waved goodbye to supporters.

Son was in the stadium for his formal farewell to the Spurs fans, who were greeted with a 3-0 win over Slavia Prague in the Champions League in a win that saw them record back-to-back wins for the first time since mid-September.

The club legend was given a commemorative golden cockerel by club legend Ledley King and spoke to fans ahead of kick off as he invited to supporters to support him in the MLS. 

"Good evening, everyone. It's Sonny here. I hope you guys don't forget me. It's been an amazing ten years, guys, an incredible ten years. Just want to say thank you and I will be always Spurs, and I will always be with you.  

“This will always be my home. This will always be by home. I will never forget you. Please stay with me and come visit LA when you want, I would love to have you guys. I love you all, guys. Come on you Spurs!" 

Work has been ongoing in recent days on a mural on Tottenham High Road, which shows Son's trademark celebration and him lifting the Europa League trophy last season with the caption: "Sonny, Spurs legend." 

Son, who scored 173 goals for Spurs and led the club to their first trophy in 17 years, will be forever remembered as a club legend and he will surelu return to the stadium again later this season.
