Heung-min Son has now spoken ahead of his return to Tottenham Hotspur as the club also announces mural to join two other club legends.
Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed that Heung-min Son is set to return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to bid farewell to Spurs fans.
The former captain will address the lilywhite faithful for the first time since the summer when he takes to the pitch before kickoff during Spurs’ next Champions League game on 9 December against Slavia Praha.
Spurs will be hoping to cap off what will be an emotional day for everyone associated with the club in style as they look to push back up the Champions League league phase table where they are two points off the automatic qualification places.

Heung-min Son is not only returning to north London, but the club has also confirmed that a mural will be made of him on the streets of N17.
Working with the Fan Advisory Board, it has been revealed that work has now commenced on a street mural on Tottenham High Road, to be completed by December 9, to further celebrate Son’s legacy in north London.
The design of the mural was chosen by the Korean international himself and is being created by the team behind the artworks of fellow Tottenham legends Ledley King and Harry Kane that also adorn the road leading to the stadium.

Son also opened up about the upcoming reunion, revealing that it was important to him that he had the chance to address the fans in person, after his departure was announced overseas and not in front of the supporters who watched him for a decade.
He said this in his message released ahead of the reunion: “When I announced my difficult decision to leave Spurs in the summer, it was in Korea and I never got a proper chance to say goodbye to fans at the stadium.
“Now I am so happy because I am going to come back to London on 9th December, for the Champions League match, and be able to tell the Spurs fans in person just how much their support and love over 10 years has meant to me and my family.
“It will be emotional, but it is important for me and the Club that this happens.”
