“I’ve completed my mission here in Tottenham now I need to move on to the next and honor the wishes of my father — that’s why I’m taking the bold step to this Premier League club all on one condition, if I can get his jersey number then it’s done,” Tottenham star Son Heung-min announces decision to leave Tottenham and join Premier League club on one condition

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has officially dropped the biggest bombshell of the summer. In a deeply emotional statement, the South Korean international confirmed that his journey with Spurs is coming to an end — not because of fame or fortune, but because of a deeply personal promise he made to his father. And now, he’s ready to join a Premier League rival… but only if one specific condition is met.

The 32-year-old attacker, who has worn the white of Tottenham since 2015, revealed that he’s “completed his mission” in North London. Son made it clear that his decision to move isn’t just career-driven — it’s a spiritual next step, guided by the words and wishes of his late father, who played a pivotal role in shaping his career and character.

“I owe everything to my father. From the way I train to how I carry myself on and off the pitch, it’s all because of him,” Son explained during a heartfelt interview. “He always told me never to settle. He believed in testing oneself, even when things are comfortable. That’s why I know it’s time.”

The only condition Son has put on this potential transfer? The jersey number. But not just any number — it must be the iconic No. 7, a number that holds emotional and symbolic significance in both his personal and professional journey.

That number is etched into his identity. He wore the No. 7 shirt at Tottenham with pride and has done the same for the South Korean national team. More significantly, it was the number worn by his father during his own playing days. For Son, wearing that number is more than tradition — it’s a tribute. “If I can wear the number 7, then it’s done,” he emphasized.

Speculation is now rife over which Premier League club could be Son’s next destination. Reports have pointed strongly toward Manchester United, a club desperate to inject experience, leadership, and flair into their faltering frontline. With Erik ten Hag rebuilding and looking for proven winners, Son fits the bill perfectly. But there’s a complication: United’s iconic No. 7 jersey is a prized asset — one associated with legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and Eric Cantona.

Currently, the No. 7 shirt at United is either reserved for a marquee signing or vacant after their summer clear-out. Would they hand it over to Son to seal the deal? That’s the million-dollar question — and one the United hierarchy will need to answer swiftly if they want to secure the services of one of the league’s most consistent performers.

Another Premier League club being discussed is Newcastle United. With their recent financial backing, ambition, and a clear desire to compete with the elite, Newcastle presents an attractive option. More importantly, their No. 7 shirt is reportedly unassigned — and they’ve been long-term admirers of Son’s work ethic and versatility.

As news of Son’s departure spreads, tributes have poured in from Spurs fans worldwide. Many have taken to social media to express both heartbreak and admiration. “No trophies, but plenty of unforgettable memories,” wrote one fan. “He made us believe again, even when times were tough. Always gave 110%. That’s what makes a legend.”

Son’s departure signals the end of a significant era at Tottenham. After already losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich last season, Spurs are now set to lose their second talisman in as many years. For manager Ange Postecoglou, this will be a challenging moment. Son wasn’t just the team captain — he was the emotional core of the dressing room, an example for younger players, and a player who never stopped running.

The club has not yet released an official statement, but sources close to the situation indicate that internal discussions have begun regarding a farewell tribute. Fans may get a chance to celebrate Son’s legacy in a final home game, should a transfer materialize within the next few weeks.

For Son, this move is about more than football. It’s about honoring family, fulfilling a vow, and proving that loyalty can still have a powerful place in modern football. “I’m not leaving because I want more money or attention,” Son insisted. “This is personal. This is spiritual. This is for my father.”

His next chapter is still unwritten, but one thing is certain — wherever he goes, Son Heung-min will be remembered as one of the Premier League’s classiest stars, both on and off the field.

Will his next club grant him the sacred No. 7 jersey? Will Tottenham fans ever see a player like him again? The drama is far from over.

Stay tuned — this is just the beginning of a very emotional transfer saga.
