Son Heung-min on Verge of Historic Move to LAFC

Son Heung-min is about to make a big transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Los Angeles FC. The deal will be done very soon, with reports confirming that he announced he wants to leave Spurs.

WHAT HAPPENED?

LAFC and Tottenham are in advanced talks. Reports say the transfer fee is about $20 million. Both teams are moving fast to complete the deal, as LAFC had to beat several Saudi Arabian clubs to sign the South Korean star. The deal will likely be finished in a few days, ending Son’s nine-year stay in North London.

WHY THIS MOVE MATTERS

Son, now 33, leaves Tottenham after another strong season where he scored 16 goals and made eight assists in the Premier League, helping the team sin the Europa League in the 2024/25 season. His arrival at LAFC is a big boost for the team, which is currently second in the MLS Western Conference, just two points behind Seattle Sounders. His talent and experience will help LAFC’s attack and raise the profile of Major League Soccer, following signings like Lionel Messi and Zlatan Ibrahimović.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR SON AND LAFC

LAFC are aiming for their second MLS Cup this season and are currently two points behind Western Conference leaders Seattle Sounders. Their next match is a home game against the fourth-placed Vancouver Whitecaps, who are four points behind LAFC. Son will likely complete his medical and join the squad in time for the last part of the MLS regular season. Fans worldwide are eager to see how quickly he can adapt and shine in a new league.
