LAFC expected to pay a transfer fee of around US$26 million for the Spurs and South Korea captain, a Major League Soccer record.

Son Heung-min, who spent 10 seasons with Tottenham Hotspur and stars for the South Korean national team, has a deal in place to join Los Angeles FC, according to multiple reports.

In 2015, Son became the most expensive Asian transfer in the history of the Premier League, joining from Bayer Leverkusen for around $20 million, and he helped Spurs win their first trophy in 17 years this season after beating Manchester United 1-0 in the final of the 2024-25 edition of the UEFA Europa League.
