The South Korean star enjoyed a legendary 10-year stint in north London, amassing 454 appearances and 173 goals as he established himself as a club legend.
On their official website, Spurs have now confirmed that Heung-min Son will return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the Champions League match at home to Slavia Prague on December 9th. The announcement read:
"Heung-Min Son will return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since leaving the Club to bid farewell to our home fans at our UEFA Champions League fixture with SK Slavia Praha on Tuesday 9 December.
"Our legendary former captain, who led the side to Europa League glory in Bilbao in May, announced his departure in August during our summer tour in his home nation of South Korea, playing his final game in a Spurs shirt in front of a sold-out Seoul World Cup stadium in front of his adoring Korean following.
“Sonny has chosen the Slavia fixture as his opportunity to return to London and say his goodbyes to the Spurs faithful."
Son led Spurs to the Europa League title and their first trophy in 17 years and even grabbed a Puskas award along the way to establishing himself as a much adored club icon. He will now get his chance to say farewell to a fanbase who will welcome him back with open arms.
“When I announced my difficult decision to leave Spurs in the summer, it was in Korea and I never got a proper chance to say goodbye to fans at the stadium,” he told Tottenham’s official website this week.
“Now I am so happy because I am going to come back to London on Dec. 9, for the Champions League match, and be able to tell the Spurs fans in person just how much their support and love over 10 years has meant to me and my family. It will be emotional, but it’s important for me and the Club that this happens.”
