Son Heung-min could reunite with Tottenham in a pre-season fixture against LAFC in South Korea next summer.

Spurs’ 2025 pre-season tour was a success, where Tottenham even triumphed in a 1-0 win over rivals Arsenal.

As part of the tour was held in South Korea, the left winger had a clause in his contract that ensured he went on the tour before departing the club.

Son departed Tottenham after nearly a decade in North London. His final game came during Spurs’ draw to Newcastle United in South Korea, where he received a standing ovation when substituted.

However, fans will want to give their legend a proper farewell in the near future.

Son Heung-min could return next pre-season

Son revealed that he hopes to reunite with Tottenham fans at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, given that his farewell came in South Korea.

This could see him return to North London once LAFC’s season ends in early December.

However, speaking exclusively to Tottenham News, Tottenham expert and Lilywhite Rose owner John Wenham believes there will be a chance for Son to reunite with Tottenham fans if Spurs face LAFC this upcoming pre-season.

"I think Spurs will already have in mind a pre-season friendly in South Korea this upcoming summer against LAFC. Watch this space on that," Wenham said.

While it remains to be seen, there likely won’t be a dry eye in the house when Son finally reunites with Tottenham fans.

Son Heung-min cannot be replaced at Tottenham

Tottenham lifted the UEFA Europa League with Son as their captain.

When others departed North London in search of personal glory, the winger stayed and was rewarded generously for his loyalty.

In an era where players are forever moving on to bigger, better things and loyalty is hard to come by, replacing Son will be a difficult task.

Son’s spot on Tottenham’s left wing is up for grabs, and while Wilson Odobert has started showing his class at Spurs, he is still far from displaying the same level of output the South Korean had while in North London.

But given what Son means to Tottenham fans, there isn’t a world where he can be replaced.

For now, it’s in Tottenham’s and Thomas Frank’s best interest to find someone good for the collective, not a replacement for one of the club’s biggest living legends.
