After IO years with Tottenham, captain Son Heung-min announced on Saturday that he plans to leave the English Premier League club.

Son, who helped Spurs win the Europa League title in May, said it was “the most difficult” decision of his career and added the club was supporting him as he looks to find another team, with Los Angeles FC a possible landing spot.

The 33-year-old South Korea international will start against Newcastle in a preseason friendly Sunday in Seoul in what could be his final match with the team.

Son, who scored 173 goals in 454 competitive appearances for Tottenham, opened the news conference by announcing he has “decided to leave this club in this summer” and that Spurs are “helping me to my decisions.”

“I came to north London as a kid, 23 years old, very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn’t speak English and leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment,” said Son, who fought back tears during his announcement.

I’m a school teacher: SEND provision changes lives

In the foreword to a report by the centre-right think tank Policy Exchange, the former health secretary Jeremy Hunt argues that children are being overdiagnosed with mental health and neurodivergent conditions. In England, one in five children has been identified with additional needs, and Hunt says that the rise in Send spending “risks the financial sustainability of local government.” The idea of this claimed “overdiagnosis” is baffling to me because, as a secondary school teacher, I've seen firsthand how labyrinthine and difficult the process is.
