Tearful Son bids emotional farewell

DEPARTING Tottenham captain Son Heung-min was in tears and his teammates threw him into the air on an emotional evening in his native South Korea on Sunday.

Spurs drew 1-1 with Newcastle in a preseason friendly in Seoul, but that was secondary to the farewell for the 33-year-old attacker.

In what could have been his final game for the north Londoners, Son played 65 minutes but did not score at Seoul World Cup Stadium, a day after announcing his decision to leave Tottenham this summer after a decade at the club.
