**Tottenham Held to Draw as Son Bids Emotional Farewell; Maddison Suffers Knee Injury**

**Seoul, South Korea** – Tottenham Hotspur’s preseason tour of Asia concluded with a bittersweet 1-1 draw against Newcastle United at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Saturday, a match dominated by the emotional farewell of Son Heung-min and a worrying injury to James Maddison.

Son, who announced his impending departure from the club just a day prior, was honored with a guard of honour before the game in his native South Korea. Visibly moved, the Tottenham talisman was seen in tears as he left the pitch at the end of the match, marking the end of his memorable time with the club. Son described leaving Tottenham as the “hardest decision of his career.”

However, the sentimentality surrounding Son’s goodbye was tempered by a potentially serious knee injury sustained by James Maddison.
