When Son was appointed captain in 2023 he became the first Asian player to lead a Premier League team in what was a momentous moment for the South Korean international who picked up his first and only trophy with the side last season as he won the Europa League.
It has been more than three months since Heung-min Son ended his decade-long stay in North London, and fans are still yearning for his return. Reports have stated that a move back to Spurs is on the cards and that now the MLS season is over, he may start negotiations over a possible loan.
However, Son has refuted such claims and stated that his future belongs in the MLS with LAFC where he has scored 10 goals and added three assists in 12 games to date.
He told TV Chosun: "I've never spoken to any club about a winter move. Such talk is simply untrue. For me, showing respect to my club and giving everything where I play — that's what matters most. That won't change.
"I won't leave LAFC this winter, or ever, while I'm here. I respect this club deeply. As long as I'm wearing this badge, there will be no such thing as a loan or a move. Never.
"I know fans get confused when rumours fly, but those stories aren't true. And honestly, it might be disrespectful to my team to even talk that way. I love this club, and I have huge respect for everyone here."
LAFC paid £20M for Son and are very unlikely to allow him to leave on loan even if it would be a fairytale return to Thomas Frank’s side. Son is thriving across the pond and even he struck a memorable hat-trick in a 4-1 win over Real Salt Lake as he enjoys time away from Tottenham for the first time since 2015.
