Heung-Min Son Happy at Tottenham but Says 'I Came Close to Leaving'

Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-Min Son says he couldn't be happier at Tottenham but revealed he almost left the club after his first season.

Son was named Premier League Player of the Year at the London Football Awards on Thursday, but he nearly quit Spurs in 2016.

Per Dan Kilpatrick and James Olley of the Evening Standard, he said: "I came close to leaving. I went to the gaffer's office and told him I didn't feel comfortable and wanted to leave for Germany."

Son arrived in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen, but he scored just eight goals in his first campaign at White Hart Lane.
