Son Heung-min (LAFC) has a huge effect.

Forbes reported on Thursday that Son contributed to making the history of Major League Soccer (MLS) in at least 20 years.

Son Heung-min left Tottenham (England) for a decade and built a new nest in LA FC. Son Heung-min, who joined LA FC on August 7, made his MLS debut against the Chicago Fire on the 10th. He was put in the 16th minute of the second half and induced a penalty kick in the 32nd minute of the second half, leading the team to a 2-2 draw. He delivered assistance in an away game against the New England Revolution on the 17th. He wrote his first offensive point as a member of LA FC. He scored his debut goal three games after his MLS debut against Dallas on the day.




The 31st round match between San Diego FC and the MLS regular league held at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, on the 1st was truly Son Heung-min Day. It was Son Heung-min's debut at home in LA FC. There were 22,937 spectators.

Forbes said 'LAFC recently signed a contract with KYPA 1230, a local Korean radio station in LA. LA FC's long-term broadcasting contract with Korean radio broadcasters is considered the first contract since director Hong Myung-bo came to LA Galaxy in 2003 and 2004. This is another sign of Son's tremendous marketing potential, he said.

Son Heung-min's influence is very hot. Earlier, LAFC co-chairman and general manager John Thorrington said in an interview with TalkSport UK that `Son Heung-min's uniforms were the most sold in all sports in the world during the week.' He said, `Son Heung-min has sold more uniforms than any other sports player in the world since he signed for LAFC. It sold more than soccer players such as Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nasr) as well as other sports players such as LeBron James (LA Lakers) and Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors)," he said.
