Harry Kane Cheers Son Heung-min’s US Move, Calls Duo "Premier League’s Greatest Chemistry"
After parting ways at Tottenham, Kane and Son continue to show mutual respect following record-breaking partnership Son Heung-min embarks on a new chapter in MLS as Kane reflects on their legendary run
Harry Kane has warmly congratulated Son Heung-min on his transfer to the United States, underscoring the storied partnership and deep friendship forged during their years together at Tottenham Hotspur.
Speaking to reporters at Munich's Allianz Arena on August 8 (Korean time) after a pre-season friendly against Tottenham, Kane openly addressed Son’s recent transfer. "I want to celebrate the remarkable times we shared at Tottenham," Kane offered in a heartfelt message.
Kane and Son formed one of the most formidable attacking duos in Premier League history after Son joined Tottenham in 2015. Together, they scored a record 47 goals as a combination—the all-time highest for any pair in the EPL—and consistently dazzled as one of England’s most talked-about partnerships.
Their legendary run at Tottenham came to a close after Kane’s move to Bayern Munich in 2023 and Son’s recent transfer to LAFC in Major League Soccer.
Reflecting on their years together, Kane stated, "Looking back, I truly believe we showed the best attacking partnership the Premier League has ever seen." He also shared that playing alongside Son had been a true joy, describing his friend as "humble and kind-hearted."
Although they did not lift a trophy together at Tottenham, both players tasted championship glory recently—Kane secured a title in the Bundesliga and Son triumphed in the UEFA Europa League.
Kane congratulated Son for finishing his Tottenham career on a high note with silverware, noting, "Last season must have been particularly special for Son Heung-min." He went on to express his support for Son’s newest chapter: "I wish him all the best as he embarks on this new challenge."
On the pitch that day, Kane netted the opening goal, helping Bayern Munich to a 4-0 victory over Tottenham in the pre-season clash.
