LAFC 'changed my heart' - Son leaves Spurs for MLS
Published: 8/6/2025

South Korean forward Son Heung-min has acknowledged that joining Los Angeles FC wasn't his initial preference, but a talk with the club's president convinced him otherwise. The MLS team paid a record fee exceeding £20m to secure the former Tottenham Hotspur captain on a two-year contract with potential for a further two years. Son announced his departure from Tottenham after a decade, and his arrival at LAFC surpasses the previous MLS transfer record set by Atlanta United earlier this year.
