Tottenham captain Son Heung-min says he will leave the club this summer after 10 years. The South Korea international joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has scored 173 goals in 454 appearances. He was captain when Tottenham beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in May to clinch their first trophy in 17 years.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min announced in Seoul on Saturday that he will be leaving this summer following a decade with the North London club.

Tottenham are closing in on a loan move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha. Talks between the clubs are at an advanced stage, with an agreement in principle in place. An agreement over personal terms is unlikely to pose a problem and the deal is set to carry an option for the 30-year-old to make the transfer permanent.
