BREAKING: Son Heung-min Leaves Tottenham for LAFC

Tottenham Hotspur captain and fan favorite, Son Heung-min, has officially confirmed his departure from the North London club after a remarkable 10-year spell.

The South Korean forward, who joined Spurs in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen, made an indelible mark on the club’s history with 454 appearances, 173 goals, and 101 assists.

Son’s time at Tottenham was highlighted by his electrifying pace, clinical finishing, and unmatched work ethic, culminating in a historic UEFA Europa League title — a rare piece of silverware in Spurs’ modern era.

Now 33, Son is reportedly finalizing a move to Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in Major League Soccer. The transfer is seen as a fresh challenge for the veteran star, who remains one of Asia’s most iconic footballers. Sources close to the deal suggest Son was drawn by the opportunity to grow the game in the U.S. while continuing to perform at a high level.

Fans and footballers across the globe have begun pouring in tributes for the South Korean icon, who leaves behind a legacy of excellence, humility, and unforgettable moments at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
