Son Heung-min set several records through his transfer to Los Angeles (LA) FC.

LA FC announced on the 7th (Korea time) that it will recruit Korean superstar Son Heung-min. The club signed Son Heung-min from Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League through its official website. Son has become another world star to join LA FC, joining Carlos Vela, Giorgio Chiellini, Olivier Giroud and fellow Tottenham players Gareth Bale and Hugo Lloris, he said.

LA FC owner Bennett Rosenthal said, `It has been a dream for years to bring Son to LA FC and the city. Our owners respect both Son Heung-min and people. His joining is a symbol of LA FC's commitment to grow into a global club, and Son will be a great inspiration not only for LA and Southern California communities, but also for countless fans around the world."

Son Heung-min is also very proud to join LA FC, an ambitious club, in LA, one of the world's iconic sports cities. This city has a history of countless champions, and I want to write a new chapter here. A new challenge in Major League Soccer (MLS) is expected. I came to LA to put everything into it and lift the trophy for this club, for the city and for the fans. I want to start the day as soon as possible"He expressed his feelings about the transfer.




Son Heung-min has rewritten MLS history through this transfer. The transfer fee figures vary from media to media, but Son Heung-min recorded the highest transfer fee ever in MLS. According to soccer statistics media Transfermarkt, Son Heung-min's transfer fee is 22 million euros (about 35.5 billion won). The record is not expected to be easily broken for the time being, as there have only been two transfers of more than 20 million euros in MLS history, including Son Heung-min.

Another milestone set by Son Heung-min is that he is the third highest transfer fee ever among players who have transferred at the age of 33. Son Heung-min is next to 117 million euros (about 188.8 billion won) recorded when Cristiano Ronaldo moved from Real Madrid to Juventus and 45 million euros (about 72.6 billion won) set when Robert Lewandowski moved from Bayern Munich to Barcelona.

In general, it is difficult for 33-year-old players to earn high transfer fees. This is because it is the point where they are looking at retirement soon. Nevertheless, Son Heung-min gave Tottenham a gift until the end with a transfer fee that exceeded the ransom and left for LA.

LA FC also showed how desperate it was to recruit Son Heung-min in terms of treatment. Son Heung-min will be the next highest-paid player after Lionel Messi, the best soccer star of the current era. Son Heung-min's salary is higher than Sergio Busquets, Barcelona's all-time legend.




These records are behind Messi, Ronaldo and Lewandowski, but Son Heung-min is also the best superstar. It was a transfer that showed Son Heung-min's star quality.

Meanwhile, Son is expected to make his debut quickly. Son Heung-min may be able to play from the game against the Shikako Fire on the 9th at the earliest.
