releasing images of the large Son Heung-min mural in London.
The large mural of “legend” Son Heung-min (33, Los Angeles FC) that awaits him on his visit to his former club Tottenham has finally been unveiled.
The British outlet The Spurs Web reported on the 10th (Korea time) that “the mural of Son Heung-min painted on Tottenham High Road has been completed,” releasing images of the large Son Heung-min mural in London.
The mural features the phrase “SONNY SPURS LEGEND,” symbolizing Son Heung-min as a Tottenham legend, along with an image of him in a Tottenham shirt performing his signature “camera-click” celebration. It also shows the back view of captain Son Heung-min lifting the trophy with the Korean flag wrapped around his waist after winning the UEFA Europa League in Bilbao, Spain, last season.
The Spurs Web highlighted that “Son Heung-min, a South Korea international, devoted most of his brilliant career to Tottenham. During the ten years he spent at the club’s home ground, he created memories that will remain forever in the hearts of countless fans.”
The report continued, “Because his transfer was confirmed during the preseason tour, there was no real chance for a proper farewell. Now many fans are expected to head to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to say their final goodbyes.”
Having completed the 2025 season with his club LAFC and entered the offseason, Son Heung-min is scheduled to visit the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the day of the 2025–2026 UEFA Champions League league-phase matchday 6 against Slavia Praha (Czech Republic) to bid farewell to Tottenham fans.
Son Heung-min had declared during a preseason tour press conference in Korea last August that he would be leaving Tottenham. After playing a farewell match for the club in Korea, he immediately flew to the United States to complete his move to LAFC, which meant he did not have a proper opportunity to say goodbye to Spurs fans.
Regretting that he had to leave without greeting the supporters, Son Heung-min decided, once the season was over, to personally travel to London to share one last farewell with the Tottenham fanbase.
In response to news of his visit, Tottenham, in cooperation with the club’s Fan Advisory Board, honored the club legend Son Heung-min with a “giant mural.” Only three Tottenham players have been commemorated with such large murals: Ledley King, Harry Kane, and Son Heung-min.
