The two reporters agreed with Tottenham that LAFC would pay $20 million to $26 million in transfer fees. A complete agreement has also been reached on athletes and individual conditions. It is now wrapping up a large recruitment. All the agreements are complete, and we just need to finalize them now. This transfer fee is expected to be the highest transfer fee ever in MLS. Son is expected to stay in Seoul for a few more days, and he could head to the U.S. as early as next week, but no specific plans have been finalized yet.'

I'm also proud of being in a team for 10 years while playing soccer. "I want to start over with a new motivation in a new environment. When I first came here 10 years ago, I was a boy who was not good at English. Now I'm leaving because I'm a man. I think there's a good time to say goodbye, too. It's hard, but I'm leaving at a good time. I hope everyone understands this."
In his final match in Tottenham's uniform, Son worked hard on the field for his fans. In the 18th minute of the second half, he headed from the ground to the bench with a replacement sign announcing Son Heung-min's last. All the players and staff in the stadium stood up and watched Son Heung-min's last, pouring out applause and cheers. Tottenham and Newcastle approached Son Heung-min and congratulated him on the end.
