'Son National' Son Heung-min's chances of going to the U.S. are growing.

Tottenham have also begun a forward-looking review. The specific transfer fee was also disclosed. On the 24th (Korea time), the British Sun exclusively reported that `Tottenham will consider transferring when it receives an offer of 15 million pounds (about 27.8 billion won) for Son Heung-min.'

News has been pouring out that he has been negotiating with LA FC of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) since the previous day. Fabrizio Romano, one of the top authorities in the European transfer market, said on his SNS that `LA FC approached Son Heung-min to recruit him,' adding that `LA FC is trying to recruit him, but Son Heung-min will have the final say.' Coach Frank Thomas and Son Heung-min will discuss the future, he said.




The Athletic also reported that `LAFC is trying to recruit Son Heung-min this summer.' LA FC has also shown interest in the past, but is now strongly pursuing Son Heung-min's recruitment. There is no real move yet, but LA FC think they can persuade Son Heung-min, he said.

Tom Bogert, who is considered a first-tier MLS reporter, also posted on social media that `LA FC is talking to recruit Son Heung-min' and `It's still in its early days, but LA FC is pushing to recruit Son Hong-min this summer. It's going to be a huge recruitment.

This is not the first time Son Heung-min has been connected to LA FC. The British newspaper 'TBR Football' reported that 'LAFC negotiated the transfer of Tottenham captain Son Heung-min to the United States. Then 'Frank is open to selling Son Heung-min. But it's up to the player himself to make the final decision on his future' Son Heung-min is currently attracting attention from Saudi Arabian clubs as well as the United States, and has a significant opportunity to leave Tottenham this summer'

The Sun exclusively reported that `Tottenham will consider transferring when it receives an offer of 15 million pounds (about 27.8 billion won) for Son Heung-min.'

LA FC currently has a designated player slot. Olivier Giroud, who played for Arsenal in the past, recently transferred to France League 1 Lille. A designated player is a unique rule of MLS that means the pureness of being able to pay a salary that exceeds the upper limit. Each team can have a maximum of three people. In other words, it is a strategy to attract famous European players to the league. MLS recently recruited Rodrigo de Paul, who was called Lionel Messi's escort, in this way. De Paul wore an inter Miami uniform.

Alessdair Gold, a reporter for the British newspaper Football London, also said, `It was a month ago that the U.S. showed interest in Son Heung-min, and after starting the season at Tottenham like Hugo Lloris, he can move to the U.S. in January ahead of the new season.' MLS, which can afford the 190,000 pounds a week Son Heung-min is currently receiving, is considered a strong destination for Son Heung-min, while Britain's The Boy Hotspur predicted that Son Heung-min could join Enze Postecoglou's trip to the U.S.

But Son Heung-min's trip to LA FC soon went below the surface. The British newspaper 'The Mirror'Son Heung-min seriously considered going to the U.S. Major League Soccer, but decided to reject LAFC's offer in the end. England 'The Sun' also 'LA FC is expected to fail to recruit Son Heung-min' and 'Son Heung-min's transfer to the U.S. is expected to be difficult at this stage. LA FC will have to wait until this winter's transfer market or next summer to take Son Heung-min.




However, with this report, rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer to LA FC have been rekindled. MLS's second transfer window opens on July 24 and ends on August 21. If Son Heung-min goes to LA FC, he is expected to reunite with Hugo Lloris, who has been a teammate in the past.

The Sun exclusively reported that `Tottenham will consider transferring when it receives an offer of 15 million pounds (about 27.8 billion won) for Son Heung-min.'

The Sun said 'Tottenham appointed Frank and actively entered the transfer market. As for Son Heung-min, he will accept the offer if the transfer fee is between 15 million and 20 million pounds (about 27.8 billion won and 37.1 billion won). There is a possibility that Son Heung-min will leave." However, he stressed that the transfer of MLS depends on Son Heung-min agreeing to the transfer.

Son's future is a hot potato. Initially, it seemed that hints would come out through Frank's press conference, but he remained ambiguous. Coach Frank said, `Now the player is doing his best and training well, and he can play tomorrow. If a player has been in a club for a long time, the club will always have to make a decision." "I'm not too worried because Son Heung-min is currently in the team. Let's think about it in five or six weeks."

Rumors of a transfer accelerated as he showed a somewhat sluggish performance in his first game against Reading on the 19th. Son Heung-min received his trademark number seven in the preseason. Son Heung-min, who was deployed in the second half, kicked the captain's armband. It was located on the left side, which was its original position. He tried to break through one-on-one and cross several times, but was blocked by the opponent's defense. He looked lethargic. The shot hit in the 27th minute of the second half went over the crossbar, and the control was regrettable in the process of penetrating after breaking down the defense line in the 34th minute. Overall, the slump that has continued since last season has been repeated.

Football London gave Son five points, the lowest rating in the team, saying, `Son Heung-min seemed to be out of touch.' Then 'It was sluggish. Overall, the touch looked very dull and one difficult shot went wide of the net. TBR Football also showed Son Heung-min's lack of sense. There were a few disturbing touches and scenes of excessive ball driving 'Tottenham plans to sell Son Heung-min when an appropriate offer comes, and the performance he showed in the match against Reading seems to have revealed some of the reasons why'

Rather, the performance of Mohamed Kudus, who was considered Son Heung-min's replacement and competitor, was remarkable and relatively contrasted. Kudus made a sharp play on the day. It served as the starting point for Tottenham's two goals on the day. In the fourth minute of the second half, Kudus scored a sharp cross that hit Luka Vushkovic on the head. Will Rankshire, who was jumping in, connected with a header and scored the first goal. Four minutes later, Buschkovic finished the ball given by Kudus with a non-stop left-footed shot.

Football London was an impressive debut. He beat defenders several times with spectacular touches, and was involved in both goals. He praised the team for its potential to improve its performance, giving it the highest rating of nine points.

As Son Heung-min was sluggish from the first game, negative public opinion continued. After the game 'Football Insider' quoted Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson's remarks as saying 'Tottenham is set to make a decision on Son Heung-min's future, and negotiations between the player himself and the club will proceed' Robinson appeared on the media's podcast 'Inside Talk'" As Tottenham advanced to the European Champions League, it is necessary to expand the team", he said. `If Son Heung-min decides that 'now is the time to leave' and delivers his intention to transfer to the club, Tottenham will respect that decision and negotiate in a way that benefits as much as possible.'

Football Insider reported earlier that `Tottenham is working on the foundation for Son Heung-min's transfer.' Football Insider reported this in an interview with Mick Brown, who has been a senior scout for Manchester United, Tottenham and Sunderland in the past. Football Insider said `Brown still maintains close relationships with his former clubs.'

Football Insider quoted Brown as saying that `Tottenham is ready to take offers on Son Heung-min, who is drawing attention from Saudi and MLS clubs.' He then said, `Frank is preparing for a future without Son Heung-min.'

"Tottenham is ready to send Son Heung-min this summer," Brown said. Looking at Tottenham's moves, they all seem to be ready to go in a new direction. We've got Kudus, and we're looking at Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze."

"They are not in the same position as Son Heung-min, but Thomas seems to think that he can strengthen his attacking options and replace Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a legend of Tottenham, but time comes to everyone in the end." When a reasonable offer comes, Tottenham will be happy to send it, and Son Heung-min will also seek new opportunities."

Tottenham fan site 'Hospers HQ' also 'Son Heung-min's future is uncertain again' The media reported that "'Son Heung-min was a key member of the Europa League's victory and ranked first in scoring contribution in the English Premier League last season, but suffered a sharp decline in the second half of the season due to injuries and poor physical strength.'" In the end, the club and Son Heung-min are likely to move to Saudi Arabia or Turkiye for a big salary contract after spending the last season together until the summer of 2025 when the contract expires."

Tottenham's other fan community 'Spurs Web' even argued that the captain's armband should be deprived at all. The media outlet said `Christian Romero should be Tottenham's new captain. It doesn't make sense for coach Frank to appoint Son Heung-min as captain. It will be difficult to be rewarded with a new contract unless he improves his skills compared to last season' and added, `There is no doubt that Son has contributed tremendously to Tottenham's team in the past two seasons, but he is not a big voice leader on the field.'

Nevertheless, Tottenham continued its middle-of-the-road moves. There is a reason. On the 21st, Matt Law of the British media 『Telegraph" reported that 'the key player clause" is behind the fact that Son Heung-min's transfer this summer has not been decided for sure. Tottenham will tour Asia in Seoul and Hong Kong this summer. After meeting with Arsenal in Hong Kong, he moved to Korea to play a Coupang Play series with Newcastle. Tottenham have consistently made huge profits by visiting South Korea over the past few years.

The Telegraph explained that `Son Heung-min's participation directly affects the tour's profits.' If Son Heung-min is removed from the Seoul tour list, Tottenham will lose 75% of its game allowance. Even if Son Heung-min accompanies him, his profits will be halved if he does not play in the game. The reason Tottenham is coming on tour to far away Asia is because of its economic aspects. However, it may be difficult for Tottenham, especially Chairman Daniel Levy, to miss the profit in front of their eyes because Son Heung-min is not played. The Telegraph predicted that it is virtually impossible for Tottenham to transfer Son Heung-min (to another team) before the Asian tour because of these provisions.

The Telegraph predicted that discussions on Son Heung-min's future could take place only after Tottenham returned to the UK after completing its Asian tour schedule. Considering the two weeks left from the return to the opening, Son Heung-min is unlikely to take on a new challenge. Moreover, in 2026, Son Heung-min will be held until the North-China World Cup finals, where he dreams of becoming a beauty. The 'key player clause' could be the key to Son's stay at Tottenham.

First of all, it became clear that his future will be decided after the Korean tour, and it seems that LA FC is becoming increasingly established.
