Korean striker Son Heung Min is about to join the LafC Club at the American professional tournament (MLS), as confirmed from many sources.
Son Heung Min announced the farewell to Tottenham Hotspur last week, closing 10 years with the London team. However, at that time, he had not revealed his next destination.
The source said LafC had reached an agreement to recruit Son for about $ 26 million, this figure breaking the record $ 22 million that Atlanta United had spent to recruit striker Emmanuel Latte Lath last year.
Son had the last match in the Spurs shirt last Sunday in Seoul, in a friendly match against Newcastle United. The match ended with a 1-1 draw. When he was withdrawn from the yard in the second half, he received gratitude with the applause and honor from the two team players.

Sharing on Tottenham homepage, Son said: “It is the perfect moment. Sharing such great moments is something I will never forget and always appreciate, from NHM, my teammates and coaches. He understood my situation, always sided with me, always listened and asked me what I wanted. I am very respectful and grateful to him.”
Earlier, Son Heung Min received a generous offer from Al Ittihad Club (Saudi Arabia), but then he chose to stay in Tottenham. Now, LAFC seems to have surpassed Al Ittihad to get the signature of the Korean striker.
The Europa League championship after the victory over Man United helped Son win the first title with Spurs. He is also the 7th player in the history of the club with 450 matches, with a total of 198 times printed shoes on the Premier League goal, since moving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 for 22 million pounds.
Son will join LAFC, the team currently ranked 6th in the Western MLS rankings, but there are still at least 2 matches that have not been matched compared to the above teams. The addition of lipstick is expected to significantly enhance the strength of the black-shirt club in the end of the season.
