Son Heung-Min Set to Join LAFC in Blockbuster Move from Tottenham
Tottenham Hotspur legend Son Heung-Min is reportedly on the brink of completing a sensational move to Major League Soccer (MLS) club Los Angeles FC, marking the end of a memorable era for the South Korean superstar in the English Premier League.
A New Chapter Begins
According to multiple sources, LAFC will pay approximately £20 million to secure Son’s services. The 32-year-old winger has already agreed to personal terms with the MLS side, and an official announcement is expected soon. Son has not rejoined the Spurs squad in the UK, as final paperwork and visa formalities are currently being finalized in the United States.
Farewell After Nine Iconic Years at Spurs
Son made his final appearance for Tottenham in a 1-1 friendly draw against Newcastle United in Seoul, where he was warmly embraced by teammates and honored with a heartfelt tribute in front of his home fans. The emotional farewell signals the conclusion of a remarkable journey that began in 2015 when Son joined Spurs from German side Bayer Leverkusen.
During his nine-year stint at Tottenham, Son became a club icon, amassing 173 goals in 454 appearances across all competitions. His speed, skill, and relentless work ethic made him one of the Premier League’s most admired forwards. His current contract was set to run until 2026, but Spurs have agreed to the transfer, allowing Son to begin a new chapter in the United States.
What LAFC Gains
For LAFC, this signing is a massive coup. Bringing in an international star of Son’s caliber not only boosts their attacking options but also significantly enhances the club’s global visibility. Son remains one of the most marketable and beloved Asian footballers, and his arrival is expected to ignite fan interest across North America and Asia alike.
Looking Ahead
As Son prepares to begin this exciting new journey in MLS, fans around the world will watch closely to see how he adapts to a new league and lifestyle. Tottenham, meanwhile, will bid farewell to a true club legend—one whose name will forever be etched in their history.
