Son Heung-min, who played a farewell match for Tottenham, is about to transfer to LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS).
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, shouted `Here we go' on Son Heung-min's transfer on the 4th (Korea time). He said on his SNS, "'LAFC agreed in principle to recruit Son Heung-min. Everything is done verbally' Tottenham has decided to receive over 15 million euros (about 24 billion won) in transfer fees, and the official stage will proceed'
Son Heung-min has 11 months left on his contract with Tottenham. So there is a transfer fee. Romano continued 'Son Heung-min accepted LA FC's offer and did not return to London with Tottenham. I'm waiting for the autograph now,' he stressed.
Son Heung-min has already hinted at going to the U.S. Asked about the criteria for selecting a new team on the 2nd when he announced his separation, he said, "The World Cup is the most important thing. It could be my last World Cup. I think we should be able to put everything into it"Most importantly, I wonder if the place I can happily pursue will play an important role in my future choices. I'm trying to organize my mind," he stressed. The 2026 North-China World Cup will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico. The main among them is the U.S.
Son Heung-min ended his 10-year companionship with Tottenham after the match against Newcastle United on the 3rd. Tottenham manager Thomas Frank confirmed "Today is Son Heung-min's last game."

Son Heung-min's Tottenham clock stopped at 63 minutes. Frank replaced Son with Mohamed Kudus. Son Heung-min embraced not only his Tottenham teammates but also Newcastle players. They formed a row of two lines, 'human tunnel'. He cheered for Son Heung-min's future with a 'Indian Bob farewell ceremony' not a initiation ceremony.
Son Heung-min's tear glands, which he endured and endured, also burst. He hugged the bench's coach Frank, coaching staff and players, and then burst into tears. He also talked with Yang Min-hyuk about his separation. It was the moment when his time at Tottenham came to an end.
Asked about his next destination after the game, he said "Nothing has been decided yet. Please wait a little longer than I'm telling you here. I gave you good information yesterday, so I laughed and said "I'd appreciate it if you could give me a step back today" 'Good information' means going to the World Cup, to the United States.
LA FC has secured a designated player slot that can have up to three players per team. Olivier Giroud, who played for Arsenal in the past, recently transferred to France League 1 Lille. A designated player is a unique rule of the MLS that allows him to pay salaries beyond the cap. This is why Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) is playing in MLS.
It has also been argued that Son Heung-min will transfer to LA FC after being promised a salary of top 3 in MLS. The British newspaper `Give Me Sports' reported that Son is likely to receive a higher salary than midfielder Sergio Busquets of Inter Miami, who is currently the third highest paid player in MLS.

Son Heung-min 'Bye Tottenham"
(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Sung-min = Tottenham Hotspur Son Heung-min, who decided to leave the team this summer, waves after a friendly match against Newcastle United in the 2025 Coupang Play Series at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd.
Son Heung-min, who moved to Tottenham in August 2015, played for 10 years, including becoming the top scorer in the league in the 2021-2022 season and leading the UEFA Europa League in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min announced in a press conference the previous day that he would leave the team this summer. 2025.8.3 |

Busquets is currently receiving an annual salary of $8.7 million (about 12 billion won). If Son Heung-min receives more salary than this, it is next to Messi (20.4 million dollars, about 28.2 billion won) and Lorenzo Insigne (15.4 million dollars, about 21.3 billion won, Toronto) in the MLS salary ranking.
Son built his nest in Tottenham in August 2015. Tottenham time has disappeared into history in 2025. He rewrote the history of Asian football in the EPL. He failed to reach the top in the 2019 European Champions League final, but in 2020, he won the FIFA Puskas Award for his 72m wonder goal against Burnley.
In the 2021-2022 season, he won the EPL Golden Boot (23 goals). Both the EPL's top scorer and the Puskas are the first and only Asian players to date. It also broke Tottenham's dark history in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min presented the Europa League (UEL) with the trophy as his captain. It was the first time in 17 years since the top of the league cup in the 2007-2008 season. The European tournament was the first championship in 41 years since the 1983-1984 season.
Son Heung-min played in 454 games for Tottenham, scoring 173 goals and 101 assists.
