“I came to North London as a boy who couldn’t speak English,” began Son Heung-min, “I leave this club as a man.” And just like that, the South Korean international bid his farewell to Tottenham Hotspur after a staunch 10-year-long service. Despite a year remaining on the contract, and so does the will to play at the highest level in Europe, Son still decided to call it quits and prepare for a “new environment for a fresh challenge.” That only ignites a fresh transfer wave around the veteran forward, with transfer guru Fabrizio Romano also sharing a crucial update.
For those unaware, the past few days have seen the former Bayer Leverkusen star get linked with a move to Major League Soccer and sign for Los Angeles FC. Initially, there seemed to be no activity until after his emotional farewell message, Romano reported on X in his typical “Here we go” style that a verbal agreement seems to have taken place between both parties.
The renowned journalist also added that Son Heung-min is ready to complete his much-anticipated move to the United States. Talking about some intrinsic details of this deal, though the contract details haven’t been shared much, Romano stated that Tottenham is believed to receive a fee in excess of €15 million ($17.3 million).
In fact, Tottenham hasn’t even travelled back to the UK with the squad that he was currently with in Seoul, South Korea, 50 miles west of Chuncheon. The 33-year-old is rather waiting for all the documents to be signed with LAFC.
