South Korea international Son Heung-min is set to join Major League Soccer (MLS) side Los Angeles FC following his departure from Tottenham Hotspur, according to football transfer expert Ben Jacobs.
The 33-year-old forward played his final match for Tottenham in Sunday's pre-season friendly against Newcastle United, which ended in a 1-1 draw. He had previously announced his intention to leave the North London club, stating that he had "already achieved everything at the Spurs and wanted a new challenge."
Jacobs reports that Los Angeles FC have reached an agreement in principle to sign the South Korean star, with terms between both parties already in place. Son is expected to complete his move to the MLS this summer, though the exact arrival date is yet to be determined in the coming days.
Son's departure marks the end of a remarkable 10-year spell at Tottenham, during which he established himself as one of the Premier League's most prolific attackers. His time at the club culminated in winning the UEFA Europa League a few months ago, finally securing silverware with the team he has served with distinction for a decade.
The move to Los Angeles FC represents a significant coup for the MLS side and continues the trend of high-profile players moving to the growing American league in the latter stages of their careers.
Son's technical ability, pace, and eye for goal should make him an instant fan favorite in Los Angeles, where he will likely become one of the league's standout performers.
Meanwhile, Tottenham will now face the challenge of replacing their talismanic forward as they prepare for the upcoming season under manager Ange Postecoglou.
