Son leaves Spurs for MLS side LAFC | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced the departure of Son Heung-min, who has made a permanent switch to MLS outfit Los Angeles FC.

The South Korean forward moves to LAFC for a record-breaking fee of $26 million (£19.5 million), the highest ever paid by an MLS club.

He was spotted at LAFC’s 2-1 victory over Mexican side Tigres UANL in the Leagues Cup on Tuesday.

Son had confirmed his plans to move on before Spurs’ pre-season clash with Newcastle, where he bowed out in front of 64,000+ supporters in his homeland of South Korea - bringing his Spurs journey to a close in fitting fashion.

The South Korea international joined Tottenham back in August 2015 and leaves behind an incredible legacy, racking up 173 goals in 454 matches for the club.

His transfer was finalised earlier this week following the completion of his medical and all necessary paperwork.

At LAFC, Son will link up with former Spurs captain Hugo Lloris at a side currently sitting sixth in the Western Conference.
