Son Heung-min makes waves in Europe

Less than three months after playing in the US, Son Heung-min is facing the possibility of returning to Europe to play football.

Son Heung-min cried when he left Tottenham in the summer of 2025.

According to British media, the former Tottenham captain has a special clause in his contract with Los Angeles FC, allowing him to temporarily return to Europe to play during the MLS break.

The South Korean star quickly integrated into LAFC with 8 goals and 3 assists in just 9 games. Son's appearance immediately turned the California team into a strong candidate for the championship, at the same time creating a media fever unprecedented since Lionel Messi arrived at Inter Miami.

Son turned down lucrative offers from many clubs to choose MLS because he wanted to find a new challenge after 10 years of dedication to Tottenham. However, the contract with LAFC is designed flexibly, similar to the "Beckham clause" that the English legend used when playing for LA Galaxy to move to AC Milan during the winter break. Thierry Henry was also loaned to Arsenal by New York Red Bulls in a similar way in 2012.

In Son's case, the clause could pave the way for a "short winter" in Europe to maintain form before the 2026 World Cup. Although he cannot yet match Messi's level, Son's appeal is enough to make waves in Europe.

The 33-year-old is making a big impact off the field. His introductory press conference attracted more than 200,000 views on YouTube , and LAFC's social media engagement has increased by 594% since August.
