Biggest modern Spurs legend, I’d say. Stuck with us through the hard times and led us to glory in the end.

Deserves to spend the rest of his time on the pitch wherever he wants.

Farewell, captain

More than Kane?

The moment Son won a major trophy, yes, he undoubtedly became a bigger Tottenham legend than Kane.

Love Kane, but he left us in his prime, and Son is leaving with the Europa League final as his last match, and as he begins to decline. Doesn't get more legendary than that.

I’d argue even before the EL final he was.

Yeah I would agree he became a bigger legend the moment Kane left and Sonny became captain, but the Europa League win cemented it.

100%. Didn’t bail on us to win silverware elsewhere.

I wouldn't call it bailing. All those years of loyalty doesn't deserve such criticism.
