LAFC coach Steve Cherundolo opened up about the possibility of joining Son Heung-min (33).
On the 4th (Korea time), Cherundolo went to a press conference for the 2025 League Cup match against Tigress. It is by far whether Son Heung-min will join LAFC or not that has attracted more interest than the game. Leading media outlets in the U.K. and the U.S. have already made it a fait accompli to join the team, and LAFC's transfer fee to Tottenham broke the Major League Soccer (MLS) record. In fact, it seems that only the official announcement and the joining ceremony are left. Son Heung-min, who will become the third-largest player in MLS with an annual salary of $10 million, is expected to become a new franchise player for LAFC.
On joining Son Heung-min, Cherundolo said, `There is nothing official, so I have nothing to say`I think Son Heung-min is a player who would want to be on the roster of any team in the world as well as MLS. But nothing has been confirmed yet."

LAFC is currently sixth among the 15 Western Conference teams with 10 wins, 6 draws and 6 losses and 36 points. The gap with the fourth-place Seattle Sounders (38 points), the Maginot line that will have a playoff home advantage, is two points apart. It ranks 14th in the Supporters Shield rankings (including all 30 East and West teams). 18 MLS teams and 18 Mexican Liga teams are participating in the League Cup. In the previous FIFA Club World Cup 2025, he was eliminated from the group stage. Considering that rival LA Galaxy is at the bottom of the Western Conference, it is a better move, but it is a regrettable move considering the goal of challenging the championship.
"Two-thirds of the season has passed," said Cherundolo, who will take the helm of LAFC at the end of this season. I've been through a lot. There were injuries, frustrations, but a lot of success. This is the stage where we squeeze out our last energy and focus on finishing it up.' "If the new players join us and perform well, we will be able to finish the season nicely," he said. That's the biggest goal, and it's something that must be done." Son Heung-min seems to have some hope that he will become a great rebound at the last minute.
