What Brennan Johnson did after Tottenham goal vs Newcastle in Son Heung-min final match

Send Push

Brennan Johnson paid homage to Son Heung-min in what could be the South Korean's final game for Tottenham.

Son announced his intention to leave Spurs after ten years at the club during a press conference on Saturday, with the Tottenham captain expected to make the move to MLS to join Los Angeles FC in the coming days.

There were bigger offers from Saudi Arabia, but given his status at Spurs and what he has done for the club in a decade, the north Londoners have allowed him to make his own decision on what happens next.

Son will receive the best of goodbyes with his final game likely to be the pre-season tour clash against Newcastle United, taking place in Son's native South Korea on Sunday.

Tottenham do return to Europe following the game against Newcastle, with a friendly against Bayern Munich - as part of the deal that took Harry Kane to Germany in a £100million move - and the UEFA Super Cup against Paris Saint-Germain before the new Premier League season starts.

But Son could be on the move before either of those games as he gets the perfect send-off from a ten-year spell at the club with that UEFA Europa League triumph in Bilbao in May.

Son was all smiles in the build-up to the clash in Seoul and had an even bigger smile on his face just four minutes into the contest against the Magpies.

After Kevin Danso won the ball high up the pitch against Newcastle, Johnson took possession and, advancing forward, he let fly from just outside the box, firing past Nick Pope for the opening goal.

And Johnson paid homage to his departing captain by pulling out the Son Heung-min picture frame celebration with both thumbs and forefingers in a rectangle looking through it.

The cameras were soon on Son who beamed at his teammate's celebration.
