Forward to be presented on Wednesday after Spurs exit
He watched LAFC in action at home to Tigres on Tuesday
Son Heung-min has agreed to a contract with Los Angeles FC, finalising his move to Major League Soccer after a decade at Tottenham Hotspur. The 33-year-old attended LAFC’s home Leagues Cup win against Tigres on Tuesday, watching from a luxury suite, and will be introduced at a news conference later on Wednesday.
The club showed the forward on the stadium video board late in the first half as he waved to roaring fans thrilled by their team’s landmark acquisition. LAFC, a deep-pocketed club with significant success in their first eight seasons of existence, reportedly paid a fee of more than $20m (£15m), which could end up being the most for an MLS move.
Son scored 173 goals in 454 competitive appearances for Spurs and was given a memorable farewell last week in Seoul during Tottenham’s exhibition match against Newcastle, getting a guard of honour from both teams and tearfully exiting in the second half while nearly 65,000 fans roared.
