The emotional friendly ended in a 1-1 draw, where Son received a guard of honor upon his substitution in the 65th minute, and handed the armband to Ben Davis. The announcement of his departure marks a decade at Spurs, where Son has made a significant impact. <\/p>\n<p>This is echoed by football writer Paldeep Catley, stating Son\u2019s influence went beyond just being a player; he became a crucial part of the Spurs\u2019 identity. In 2015, he set the record for the most expensive Asian transfer in Premier League history, coming from Bayer Leverkusen for approximately $20 million. This season, his performance helped the club secure their first trophy in 17 years by winning the UEFA Europa League.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Injury_News\"><\/span>Injury News<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lionel_Messi_Hurt\"><\/span>Lionel Messi Hurt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Argentine superstar Lionel Messi has suffered muscle damage during a match with Inter Miami, leaving the pitch early.
