With Son Heung-min's imminent transfer to LA FC, the English Premier League (EPL) has once again re-examined his status.
Son Heung-min said goodbye to Tottenham after two matches against Newcastle United at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. His '10-year companion' to Tottenham ended in August 2015.
Sangambeol, which attracted 64,773 people, was a huge theater for Son Heung-min's 'Last Dance'. Son Heung-min drove 'Shout' The cheering song 'Nice One Sonny' also resonated on the ground to the trumpet's melody. The tear glands that I endured and endured also burst. After the game, he went around Sangambeol to thank him. Tottenham players shared the last of 'Captain' with a rinse. Son Heung-min sobbed and missed the break-up.
EPL released the enthusiastic response of its teammates on the 4th (Korea time) with a message saying, `Son Heung-min remained a true Tottenham legend.' The legend, or the word 'legend', was clear. Christian Romero, who is likely to be the next Tottenham captain, said, `Son Heung-min remains a great legend for this beautiful club. 'There have been many trials, but I have continued to challenge and finally bear fruit.' 'Fruit' means that Europoli will win.

It finally broke Tottenham's dark history in the 2024-2025 season. Son Heung-min presented the Europa League (UEL) with the trophy as his captain.

There are only seven players in the top 20 in total goals and assists, including Son Heung-min, Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Andrew Cole, Teddy Sheringham and Mohamed Salah.
It is even greater if Son Heung-min narrows down after his EPL debut in the 2015-2016 season. Only Salah (270) and Harry Kane (231), who scored more goals and assists than Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min also formed a deadly partnership with Kane. The two scored 47 goals. It is ranked first in the EPL's history of offensive combinations.

Citing a source on the 5th, the sports media outlet `ESPN' Son Heung-min has confirmed that he will sign with LA FC and that the contract will be disclosed on Wednesday (6th)," citing Britain's 'BBC' Son Heung-min is expected to transfer to LA FC for a transfer fee of about $26 million (about 36 billion won). The transfer fee is the highest amount to break the record of $22 million (about 30.5 billion won) that Atlanta United spent last winter on recruiting striker Emmanuel Latteras,' the report said.
After announcing his separation from Tottenham on the 4th, 'BBC' is expected to join LA FC for about 20 million pounds (about 36.8 billion won). There is also a possibility that it will be the highest transfer fee ever, and 'The final details of the transfer are still under discussion, but it seems that the transfer to LAFC will now only need to go through paperwork and medical tests' he said.
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.
The reason Son Heung-min chose to move to LA FC is 'World Cup'. "The World Cup is the most important thing," he said on the 2nd. It could be my last World Cup. I think we should be able to pour everything into it." The 2026 North Korea-China World Cup will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
