Son Heung-min Set to Join LAFC in Record-Breaking MLS Transfer Deal
Reports from ESPN and The Athletic indicate that Son, who recently departed Tottenham Hotspur, is set to join LAFC in a groundbreaking MLS transfer deal worth $26 million. LAFC has scheduled a significant announcement for Wednesday, likely to introduce Son to the team. Despite fans' efforts to catch a glimpse of Son at the airport, they were unable to do so as he had already left South Korea. One devoted fan expressed his excitement about Son's arrival, highlighting the impact the player will have on the MLS. Son's move to LAFC marks a new chapter in his career after a successful stint with Tottenham, where he scored 173 goals in 454 matches. Son's arrival will see him take the place of Olivier Giroud, who departed for Lille earlier this year, and reunite with former teammate Hugo Lloris at LAFC.
