Los Angeles FC is approaching Son Heung-min's next destination, which surprised everyone with his surprise announcement of separation.
Tom Bogert, a reporter familiar with the news of the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), said on his personal SNS on the 2nd (Korean time). LAFC is closing in on a big deal to recruit Tottenham striker Son Heung-min, it reported.
Bogert said 'Nothing has been agreed yet, but LAFC is moving towards Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min also conveyed his intention to transfer to Tottenham.
Tottenham, led by head coach Thomas Frank, will play a friendly match against Newcastle at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. Son Heung-min attended an official press conference held at TWO IFC in Yeouido, Seoul on the 2nd.
At the press conference, he opened his mouth about Son Heung-min's own future and made a surprise announcement. It was about wrapping up his company with Tottenham. Son Heung-min said, `In a way, I don't think it was an easy decision. Decided to leave the team this summer. I think I should say something about this. I'll try to enjoy the game as much as I can," he said directly.
Son Heung-min has already paid a lot of attention to his contract with Tottenham since last season. Son Heung-min, who has played for as many as 10 years since joining Tottenham in 2015, has made his name in Tottenham history with 173 goals in 454 games. He also has a big record of winning the English Premier League (EPL) scoring in the 2021-2022 season, and has virtually reserved Tottenham's legendary position by lifting the most important trophy to the Europa League title in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min also said, `This decision was the most difficult in my career.'
Initially, several next destinations were discussed along with interest in the contract. Interest from European clubs, Saudi Arabia, and MLS clubs continued. Among them, the most active club is LAFC in MLS. LAFC, where former Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris is also active, is one of the most prestigious representatives of MLS.

It could be an attractive enough destination for Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min's eyes are already heading to the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup. Going to the U.S. to adapt to the North and Central American environment for performance can be a good option.
