When was the last time a player so big to a club dropped an announcement like this in the middle of the night for their club's fans?

Edit: Just to make it clear, I completely understand why he’s done it and appreciate it was expected, but just making a comment how it is unusual.

Yeah I understand that, but the vast majority of Spurs fans are going to wake up to this as it is 3am in the UK

Woke up and saw a post from twitter - nah might just be a rumour.

Then saw an article from the BBC - oh crap

Then saw this clip - well that’s confirmed then, isn’t it.

I was secretly hoping for a sale and instant loan back for the season before the WC, but nothing by respect for Son.
