After days of fans criticizing his silence in the aftermath of Son’s move to LAFC, Kane finally opened up to make an emotional tribute to his former Tottenham teammate. The English captain gave an endearing statement along with a picture of the two stars celebrating; the chemistry they shared is apparent from the image alone, it is a captured moment of joy between them after one of them channeled a shot on the net.

Kane’s tribute became nostalgic with an account of his relationship with the other. “Sonny Sonny Sonny… what can I say? We’ve shared so many magical moments together on and off the pitch over the years.” Kane went on saying, “he is one of the very best persons in the game” in complimenting Son’s character and talent. Kane’s words by implication also congratulated Son for his MLS trophy success: “It gave me such joy to see you lift a trophy last season”.
While the timing of the post raised some eyebrows, several users pointed out that it essentially came almost a week after Son’s transfer news broke and in the wake of mounting criticism against Kane for his silence. One blunt user said: “This is embarrassing. Took you 6 days and public backlash.” Another bluntly questioned, “Why’d you take so long to post Harry, some people were starting to turn against you?”
There were also many supporters who celebrated their historic partnership, saying, “the best Premier League duo in modern history.” A Korean fan said in translation, “The most perfect duo in Premier League history! Both players had skill, personality, and passion.” These emotional reactions show how much the fans valued the ironclad bond between them.
Sonny Sonny Sonny. What can I say. We shared so many magical moments together on and off the pitch over the years. As a person and a player you deserved all the success you’ve enjoyed. One of the very best people in the game.

The “see you soon” phrasing opened the floodgates of speculation, and one user responded, “Obvious secret pact to both return to Spurs in 2 years.” More users sent waves down memory lane reminiscing about how the duo was responsible for making them support Tottenham, with one from Philadelphia stating, “They were the reason I started watching Tottenham.”
The testifies are definite attestations to the great and deep association that exists between these two personalities, though a little bit late for some. The mind-blowing chemistry of the duo blessed Spurs with many beautiful moments. Now separated, with Kane at Bayern and Son in LA, there’s definitely no shortage of affectionate feelings between the two.

While the delay had its moments of irritation, Kane’s heartfelt tribute synchronizes everyone back to why this partnership was great to begin with. In any case, whether ill-timed or not, the message was an apt tribute to one of football’s great modern day bromances. And just maybe, that ‘see you soon’ might actually mean something.
