LAFC Eyes Tottenham Star Heung-min Son in Bold Summer Transfer Move

Los Angeles FC (LAFC) has initiated talks to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s captain, Heung-min Son, as part of a high-profile move ahead of the 2025 Major League Soccer (MLS) season. The 33-year-old South Korean forward, who has been with Spurs since 2015, has scored 161 goals in 416 appearances, establishing himself as a club legend. Reports indicate that LAFC, with two open designated player spots, sees Son as a potential superstar addition, with negotiations at an early stage.

Tottenham’s new head coach, Thomas Frank, appointed in June 2025, is expected to discuss Son’s future, adding intrigue to the transfer saga.The move comes as MLS continues to attract global talent, bolstered by a 14% attendance increase to 22,111 fans per game in 2023, per Sports Business Journal data. Son’s potential departure follows a stellar 2024-25 season, where he led Spurs to Europa League glory, ending a 17-year trophy drought. With one year left on his contract, this summer could be Tottenham’s last chance to secure a significant transfer fee. While no major progress has been reported, the decision ultimately rests with Son and Spurs, with LAFC hoping to capitalize on the growing appeal of American soccer.
