Son Heung-min has completed his transfer to Los Angeles FC from Tottenham Hotspur after a ten-year tenure with the English club. The 33-year-old was present at LAFC's win in the Leagues Cup and will be officially introduced at a news conference. LAFC paid a transfer fee exceeding $20 million for Son, potentially a record for an MLS player. Son, South Korea's most prominent athlete, received a warm farewell from Spurs fans. He will reunite with Hugo Lloris at LAFC, and the club's style aligns well with Son's skills.
Son Heung-min has agreed to a contract with Los Angeles FC, finalising his move to Major League Soccer after a decade at Tottenham Hotspur.
LAFC reportedly paid a fee of more than $20m, which could end up being the most for an MLS move.
Son scored 173 goals in 454 competitive appearances for Spurs and was given a memorable farewell last week in Seoul.
Los Angeles has the world's largest ethnic Korean population outside Korea, with the city's vibrant Koreatown district sitting a couple of miles from LAFC's BMO Stadium.
