Son Heung-min's possible return to the English Premier League (EPL) has reignited. It is known that the contract with LAFC includes a clause that allows him to play for other teams during the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS) break.

The Sun exclusively reported on the 17th (Korea time) "Former Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is said to have a contract clause that allows him to return to Europe during the MLS offseason"

Son Heung-min has scored eight goals and three assists in nine games since joining LAFC in the transfer market last summer. Since he joined, LAFC has quickly emerged as a league favorite. Son Heung-min rejected offers from several European clubs at the time of his transfer to MLS, and chose to go to the U.S., ignoring Saudi Arabia's interest.




The contract between Son Heung-min and LAFC reportedly has similar provisions to those included when David Beckham joined LA Galaxy in the past. The article is similar to the one that allowed Beckham to play for AC Milan during the MLS offseason, the media claimed. Thierry Henry is also said to have included similar provisions in his MLS-era contract. As a result, he was able to play for the New York Red Bulls in 2012 and temporarily join Arsenal.

MLS is nearing the end of the regular league. If LAFC is eliminated from the playoffs early, Son Heung-min will have time to sign a three-month lease.

The media said "After a successful 10 seasons with Tottenham, it is unclear whether Son Heung-min will choose to return to Europe and sign a short-term contract for three to four months."




Son Heung-min had a huge impact on the league two months after his MLS debut, reminiscent of Lionel Messi. It shows the aspects of star players, such as ticket power and numerous media exposure. Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min, who is living a happy life in MLS, will make a surprise return to EPL. Of course, considering Son Heung-min's age, it is not a good choice physically. It is also extremely unlikely to happen.

However, as the media said, if Son Heung-min sets aside LAFC's pre-season schedule and can sign a short-term lease with a European team, he may prepare for a big challenge of returning to the EPL ahead of the World Cup.
