After leaving Tottenham Hotspur, where he played for many years, South Korean star Son Heung-min officially joined Los Angeles FC in the United States. Kane, who worked with Son Heung-min for many years during his time at Tottenham Hotspur, said he was happy for his friend's achievements at Tottenham Hotspur and praised Son Heung-min as a very humble and wonderful person.
In the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League, the 33-year-old Son Heung-min won the championship with Tottenham Hotspur as captain, ending a 17-year championship drought. Son Heung-min also became the first Korean captain to lead the team to win the European championship.
It is worth mentioning that during the 10 years that Son Heung-min played for Tottenham Hotspur, he won the Golden Boot Award with 23 goals in the 2021/22 Premier League season, becoming the first Asian player to win the Premier League Golden Boot.
Bayern Munich striker Kane said in an interview, "It's a great way to end his Tottenham Hotspur career by lifting the trophy. Last season was really special for Son Heung-min and it was a moment he will always cherish. I sincerely wish him well and congratulate him on his achievements in his Tottenham Hotspur career."
"Son Heung-min is a very good person. I have become very good friends with him. He is really humble and a very good person. As players, we have created one of the best partnerships in the history of the Premier League. We have a tacit understanding between us that we like each other very much."
In addition, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Maddison suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the previous game against Newcastle, and will be unable to play for a long time in the 2025/26 season.
Kane, who plays alongside Maddison for the England national team, said: "I spoke to him earlier and felt very sad for him. I like Maddison as a person and I admire his performance."
"It's very unfortunate for him to have had this injury and then come back and get injured again. I can only wish him the best and you just have to stay strong and come back."
