The cat’s out of the bag — Son Heung-min is set to join LAFC! After weeks of transfer gossip, the South Korean international is officially set to leave Tottenham Hotspur after a decade-long service to enjoy the best in Major League Soccer. While the official confirmation is still pending, the South Korean superstar has already touched down in Los Angeles, making his presence known in the most exciting way possible.
Son was spotted at today’s Leagues Cup clash between LAFC and Tigres, sending fans into a frenzy as they welcomed their soon-to-be star signing. The 33-year-old forward looked relaxed and excited while watching from the stands, even conversing with the club chiefs.
