Son Heung-min makes frank admission over record-breaking MLS move
Inside Son Heung-min’s departure from Spurs after 10 years
- Son Heung-min has completed a record-breaking transfer to Los Angeles FC from Tottenham Hotspur for over £20 million, marking the highest transfer fee ever paid by an MLS club.
- The 33-year-old South Korea international signed an initial two-year deal, admitting that LAFC was not his initial preferred destination but he was persuaded by the club's general manager.
- Son spent a decade at Tottenham, scoring 173 goals in 454 appearances and recently captaining the club to Europa League glory.
- He expressed that leaving Spurs was the “hardest decision ever” and left him feeling “very empty”, but he sought a new chapter and challenge.
- The move sees Son reunite with former Spurs teammate Hugo Lloris in Los Angeles, a city with a significant Korean population, ahead of next summer's World Cup in the United States.
