Son Heung-min in the US, waiting to sign a record contract

Striker Son Heung-min attended the match between Los Angeles FC (LAFC) and Tigres at the Leagues Cup on the morning of August 6.

Son Heung-min came to watch LAFC play.

Just three days after announcing his decision to leave Tottenham, Son was at the BMO Stadium to watch LAFC, his soon-to-be new club, play. Son sat in the VIP section with his team. He is expected to be officially introduced by LAFC at a press conference today.

According to ESPN , LAFC paid a fee of about $26 million to recruit Son. This figure broke the record of $22 million that Atlanta United spent to sign striker Emmanuel Latte Lath last winter.

ESPN also shared images of many Korean fans at the Los Angeles airport to welcome Son. As soon as he landed and greeted the fans, the Korean striker immediately went to watch LAFC play.

Givemesport said LAFC is giving Son the second highest salary in MLS, at around $8.7 million per year. Although this figure is still lower than the income Son receives at Tottenham (over $11 million /year), this is still a very high number within the MLS framework.

At LAFC, Son will be reunited with former Tottenham teammate Hugo Lloris, who had a dressing room spat in 2020 but will now play together in MLS.

The goal that brought Tottenham to the championship after 17 years. In the early morning of May 22, thanks to B. Johnson's goal, Tottenham defeated MU 1-0 in the Europa League final held at San Mames Stadium (Bilbao).
