South Korean star Son Heung-min was in transit to the United States on Tuesday to officially join Los Angeles FC, a record-breaking signing for Major League Soccer that's expected to be announced in the coming days.
Videos on social media showed Son signing autographs for fans at Incheon International Airport in Seoul before he boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
The Athletic and GiveMeSport reported Tuesday that LAFC are paying a transfer fee of around $26.5 to $27 million to acquire Son, shattering the current MLS record of $22 million that Atlanta United paid for Emmanuel Latte Lath last offseason.
Son, 33, announced over the weekend that he planned to leave Tottenham Hotspur, saying he achieved everything that he could with the North London club and he was interested in a new challenge.
Son scored 172 goals and added 94 assists in 451 matches for Tottenham across all competitions, with 127 coming in Premier League play. A team captain, he helped the Spurs win the 2025 Europa League for the first major trophy of his career.
Son has also scored 51 goals in 134 matches for South Korea, the country's second-leading goal-scorer of all time. Son played in the past three World Cups.
