Son Heung-min agreed to a contract with Los Angeles FC on Tuesday, finalising his move to Major League Soccer after 10 years at English Premier League’s Tottenham Hotspur.
The 33-year-old South Korean superstar forward is joining LAFC three days after he formally announced his decision to leave the north London club.
LAFC, a deep-pocketed club with significant success in its first eight seasons of existence, reportedly paid a transfer fee of more than $20 million (R 175.3 crore approx), which could end up being the most ever for an MLS move.
Son was a beloved presence at Spurs, scoring 173 goals in 454 competitive appearances for the club while rising to global prominence with his combination of speed, playmaking skill and finishing acumen.
Son was given a memorable farewell last week in Seoul during Tottenham’s friendly against Newcastle, getting a guard of honor from both teams and tearfully exiting in the second-half while nearly 65,000 fans cheered him off.
