On Saturday, Tottenham captain and star Son Heung-min announced that he will leave the club this summer after 10 years.
The South Korea international joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and scored 173 goals in 454 appearances.
He played a vital role with Tottenham when they defeated Manchester United in the Europa League final in May to clinch their first trophy in 17 years.
The 33-year-old, who is under contract with Spurs until 2026, is in progressive talks with Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC.
Son described the decision as "the most difficult one I have made in my career" as he spoke to media alongside new manager Thomas Frank.
"I came to north London as a kid - a very young age, a young boy came to London who even didn't speak English," Son said.
"Leaving this club as a grown man is a very, very proud moment."
Currently, Tottenham are in Seoul as they are continuing their pre-season tour.
Frank, the new head coach who was appointed in June, described Son as "a true Spurs legend" and "one of the greatest players to play in the Premier League".
"If that is the last game for Sonny, what a place to do it here in front of his home fans," Frank added.
"It could be a beautiful ending."
He made his Tottenham debut in September 2015 and went on to make 333 Premier League appearances.
Son became the first Asian player to win the Premier League golden boot, sharing the title with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah with 23 goals in the 2021/22 season, and a year later was the first from Asia to reach 100 Premier League goals.
He featured in the Champions League final against Liverpool in 2019 - which the Reds won 2-0 - and took over as club captain from Hugo Lloris in August 2023.
He has also made the sixth-most appearances in the history of the club.
"I need a new environment to push myself. I need a little bit of change - 10 years is a long time," Son added.
"I spent a lot of time reflecting on whether I wanted to experience football in a different environment, and I had those conversations with myself over and over again."
