'The way Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are remembered is different.'

Son Heung-min is taking on a new challenge. He left Tottenham (England) for 10 years and moved to LA FC (USA).

LAFC fully recruited Son Heung-min from Tottenham on the 7th (Korea time). Son Heung-min is one of the most talented and popular Asian players in the history of soccer. After 10 years at Tottenham, he joined LA FC. Son Heung-min will be registered as a designated player (a player not subject to salary cap) by 2027. There is an extension option until 2028. Additionally, options up to June 2029 are also included,' it said in an official release. Tottenham also announced on its website that Sonny (Son Heung-min's nickname) left for LA FC in Major League Soccer (MLS).




Son Heung-min was the face of Tottenham and a star representing the English Premier League (EPL). Fans around the world were surprised when the news of his transfer spread. Tottenham's teammates were in tears. Ben Davies shed tears after Son Heung-min's farewell match at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. James Maddison and others made tributes on social media (social network service).

Sky Sports, a sports media outlet, said, `Son Heung-min left a lot of goals and help in the EPL. He also scored a special goal. He scored his first goal in the opening game of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The fans gave a standing ovation. In the second leg of the European Champions League (UCL) quarterfinals against Manchester City in 2019, he scored two goals in 10 minutes. Son Heung-min's partnership with Kane was another key element of the modern Tottenham era. The two set a great record. There is no better record than them in the EPL. Without Son Heung-min's assist, Kane would not have been Tottenham's all-time leading scorer.

The media reported that `The way Kane and Son Heung-min are remembered individually at Tottenham is controversial. Kane was the scorer who led the team to success. But Son will always be remembered as the player who remained. He is the player who led the cup that he longed for. Son's commitment to Tottenham has always resonated greatly with the team,' he added.
