Football star Son Heung-min headed for LAFC transfer, expected to cost around £20 million following his departure from Tottenham.
In a significant move for both Tottenham Hotspur and Major League Soccer (MLS), Son Heung-min has announced his departure from the London-based club after a decade-long tenure. The 33-year-old forward, who played a pivotal role in Tottenham's Europa League victory over Manchester United, is set to join Los Angeles FC.
The transfer, which is expected to cost £20 million, was confirmed in a press conference over the weekend. If the deal goes through, it could potentially exceed the £22.5 million paid by Atlanta United for Emmanuel Latte Lath, making it a historic move for the MLS.
Son Heung-min's impact at Tottenham Hotspur cannot be overstated. Since joining from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, he has scored an impressive 173 goals across 454 appearances. One of his most memorable moments came in the Europa League final against Manchester United, where his goal marked Tottenham's first major trophy in 17 years.
In his likely final match for Tottenham Hotspur, Son Heung-min played in a 1-1 pre-season draw against Newcastle in Seoul. He received a guard of honor from both his teammates and Newcastle players upon his substitution in the 65th minute of the match.
As Son Heung-min prepares to spend some time in his home country of South Korea before his transfer to Los Angeles FC is finalized, Tottenham Hotspur is left to fill the void left by their departing captain. No information is available about who would replace Son Heung-min at Los Angeles FC, with sources focusing on Son's signing and his impact, rather than a specific replacement player.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur is gearing up for upcoming fixtures in Germany, including a match against Bayern Munich and a reunion with Harry Kane. The club will undoubtedly look to build upon the successes of the past and continue to compete at the highest level.
As Son Heung-min embarks on a new chapter in his career, fans of both Tottenham Hotspur and Los Angeles FC await the completion of the transfer, with anticipation building for the impact the South Korean forward will have in the MLS.
