Son Heung-min left Tottenham Hotspur this summer to join Los Angeles FC, but the South Korean club legend is set to return to north London next week as Spurs play Slavia Praha in the Champions League

Son Heung-min will have the chance to say his final farewell to Tottenham Hotspur fans as the Lilywhites face Slavia Praha in the Champions League.

The South Korean star enjoyed a legendary 10-year stint in north London before joining Los Angeles FC this summer in a deal reportedly worth around £20million. But the 33-year-old is now set to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium come Tuesday, December 9, to say his final farewells to fans of the club.

An announcement on the official Spurs website on Wednesday, read: "Heung-Min Son will return to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the first time since leaving the Club to bid farewell to our home fans at our UEFA Champions League fixture with SK Slavia Praha on Tuesday 9 December.

"Our legendary former captain, who led the side to Europa League glory in Bilbao in May, announced his departure in August during our summer tour in his home nation of South Korea, playing his final game in a Spurs shirt in front of a sold-out Seoul World Cup stadium in front of his adoring Korean following.

"Having then made the move straight to Los Angeles FC in the MLS – where he scored an impressive nine goals in 10 games before exiting the competition at the Play-Off stage in defeat to Vancouver Whitecaps on 23 November – Sonny has chosen the Slavia fixture as his opportunity to return to London and say his goodbyes to the Spurs faithful."

Son will take to the pitch before the team-walk outs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday, and will have the opportunity to address the supporters who grew so fond of him over the years. Further details and timings are set to be announced ahead of the Champions League encounter.
