South Korean superstar Son Heung-min is swapping north London for sunny LA! 🌴⚽️ The 33-year-old forward has officially signed with MLS champs LAFC, capping off a decade of magic at Tottenham Hotspur.
Three days after announcing his Spurs exit, Son watched LAFC’s Leagues Cup clash with Tigres from a luxe suite at BMO Stadium. The crowd went wild when his face popped up on the big screen — cheers louder than a BTS concert! 🎉
LAFC reportedly shelled out over $20 million to land the K-footie icon, making it one of the priciest moves in MLS history. But if anyone can rally the fans and boost the league’s vibe, it’s Son — just like Shohei Ohtani does for the Dodgers! 🏟️
In 10 seasons at Tottenham, Son scored 173 goals in 454 games, earning global star status with his speed, slick passes, and killer finishes. He even got a tearful guard of honor from both teams in his farewell showdown against Newcastle in Seoul — talk about the ultimate send-off! 😭👏
Next up for Son? A fresh start on the LA pitch and a shot at making waves in the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted in North America. As South Korea’s captain, he’s already set on leading his team to new heights. Stay tuned — this K-football legend is just getting started! 🚀
