Former Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min will return to the club for the first time since leaving to join MLS side Los Angeles FC in the summer.
Son, after 10 years of service, will bid farewell to fans during Spurs' Champions League fixture against Slavia Prague on Tuesday, 9 December.
The 33-year-old led Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years when they lifted the Europa League last season.
"It will be emotional, but it's important for me and the club that this happens," Son said on his return.
He announced his departure during their pre-season tour in South Korea, his final match in a Spurs shirt was at a sold-out match in Seoul.
"I never got a proper chance to say goodbye to fans at the stadium," Son said.
"Now I am so happy because I am going to come back to London on 9th December, for the Champions League match, and be able to tell the Spurs fans in person just how much their support and love over 10 years has meant to me and my family."
Tottenham announced that Son will take to the pitch before the team walk-outs for the 20:00 GMT fixture.
"He will then have the opportunity to personally address the supporters," the club said.
Spurs have also commissioned a mural on Tottenham High Road.
It will be unveiled during Son's return to Tottenham to "celebrate the legacy".
Son has chosen the design himself, which will be created by Murwalls, who also produced murals for Ledley King and Harry Kane.
