Son’s transfer will be an MLS record, surpassing the 21.5m US dollars Atlanta spent on signing forward Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough in February. Spurs stalwart Son will exit north London after scoring 173 goals in 454 appearances.

Son Heung-min agreed to a contract with Los Angeles FC on Tuesday, finalizing his move to Major League Soccer after a decade at Tottenham Hotspur.

Heung-min Son will be unveiled by LAFC on Wednesday as the most expensive signing in Major League Soccer history. The Tottenham captain has agreed a two-year deal and will join for a fee of around £20million, which surpasses the $22m (£16.6m) fee paid by Atlanta United for Emmanuel Latte Lath in February 2025.
