In a potential market bombshell for MLS, Los Angeles FC could be on the verge of signing Premier League legend Heung-Min Son. The Korean striker, a Tottenham icon, is reportedly open to a move to the United States as his contract with Spurs expires in June 2026.
According to journalist Tom Bogert, LAFC is making strides towards securing Son’s signature. The club has the financial means to make the deal happen, and Son is eager to test himself in MLS. However, before any transfer can be finalized, Son must first play in a friendly for Tottenham against Bayern Munich in Seoul to engage with fans in his home country.
Tottenham is said to be willing to part ways with Son for a fee of $20 million, as per Transfermarkt. This could pave the way for the Korean star to make a new chapter in his career across the pond.
Son has been a standout performer for Tottenham since his arrival in 2015, scoring 173 goals in nearly a decade at the club. He has been a key figure in the team’s history, including their Europa League triumph, which marked their first international trophy.
Fans would undoubtedly be saddened to see Son depart for MLS, but the opportunity for a new challenge could be too enticing for the revered striker. Stay tuned for further updates on this potential blockbuster transfer in the coming days.
