MLS club expected to make bid for Spurs forward

Talks with Forest over Gibbs-White at an impasse

Son Heung-min is a target for Los Angeles FC and they have made their interest in him known to Tottenham. The London club have yet to receive any bids for Son but they can expect one from LAFC, which would leave their highest-profile player with a decision to make.

LAFC, who signed Hugo Lloris from Spurs in December 2023, have tracked Son for some time. It is understood there is no interest in him at present from clubs in Saudi Arabia, which has been mooted as a possible destination.

Son, who has one year on his Spurs contract, is poised to travel with the club on their pre-season trip to Hong Kong and his native South Korea. They depart on Sunday after the friendly at Luton on Saturday and Son’s legions of Korean fans are looking forward to seeing him in Seoul next Sunday when Spurs play Newcastle. It is unthinkable that the 33-year-old is not involved. Spurs face Arsenal in Hong Kong before that on Wednesday.
