Son Heung-min (LAFC, 33) is highly likely to play on the European stage again. However, he is unlikely to go to his old team Tottenham Hotspur.

There are reports from European media such as Britain and Italy that Son Heung-min, who is currently playing amazingly for LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), may return to the European stage in the form of a 'short-term loan' after the end of the season.

In fact, there is not a small chance of success. There is already precedent and it is possible enough. In addition, Son Heung-min's current skills have also recovered to his past heyday. It deserves to be competitive on any stage in Europe.




Italian media Sempre Milan is considering recruiting Son Heung-min on a short-term loan this winter. This is the same way David Beckham was recruited in the past,' he reported. Earlier in the day, British media Tribal Football may also make an interesting decision after Son Heung-min finishes the MLS season on the 21st. There will be two to three months of absence after the end of the season at LAFC, during which time he may return to the European league on a short-term loan basis.'"

There are already many cases in which star players who played in MLS played in the European League in a short period of time using the difference at the end of the season. The representative player is David Beckham, the current owner of Inter Miami. Beckham left Real Madrid to join the LA Galaxy in the summer of 2007. He then moved to AC Milan on a short-term loan during the break after the end of the season.

Thierry Henry and Frank Lampard also returned to the European stage using a break after the season as MLS. Tribal Football refers to this example and says, "'Son Heung-min can choose to return to Europe at a time when he has to maintain his skills ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. AC Milan are already interested and could work with Harry Kane again at Bayern Munich, he said.

The direct reason why Europe's interest in Son Heung-min has grown again is that he performed amazingly at LA FC. In the 2024-2025 season, the last season of Tottenham, Son Heung-min suffered negative factors such as injuries and poor physical strength, showing a lower speed and goal determination than before. As a result, the controversy of 'Aging Curve' grew.

However, since moving to LA FC, this has completely disappeared. Of course, the level of MLS defense is lower than that of EPL, but Son Heung-min's form itself has also recovered to its heyday. Son Heung-min quickly conquered the MLS stage by showing off his explosive offensive point productivity of 9 goals and 3 assists in 10 games since joining LA FC.

Because of this certainly revived skill, many European clubs are trying to bring Son Heung-min on a short-term loan. If the top EPL striker can be used cheaply in a short period of time, any club deserves to salivate. LA FC is also known to be positive about Son Heung-min's short-term loan.

With the possibility of Son Heung-min's short-term lease being raised, his former team Tottenham was the first to receive attention. However, Tottenham is not showing much interest in Son Heung-min's short-term recruitment. In fact, maybe Tottenham is the team that needs Son Heung-min the most. This is because Xavi Simmons, who was brought as his successor after Son Heung-min left 's uniform number 7', is showing a disastrous performance.

Matistel, who was considered another Son Heung-min successor, is also rarely improving. As time goes by, I feel Son Heung-min's void in terms of offense. However, Tottenham are not active for now. Director Frank Thomas' reluctance is being felt.

Rather, AC Milan and Bayern Munich are active. In particular, AC Milan is at the center of Son Heung-min's short-term appointment. AC Milan originally actively pursued signing Son Heung-min. In January, he also sought to recruit Son Heung-min. However, as Son Heung-min went to LA FC, AC Milan's plan fell through.

Munich is also emerging as a strong destination. Global soccer media GoalCom predicted that if Son Heung-min goes to Munich, he will be able to work with Kane again. Son Heung-min's temporary return to Europe seems almost certain. Where the destination will be is emerging as a matter of keen interest.
