LAFC has finalized the transfer of Korean star Son Heung-min for a league-record fee. Son is set to be introduced as an LAFC in the coming days, according to multiple sources briefed on the deal. LAFC will pay Tottenham in the neighborhood of $26.5 million (£20 million) for the winger, sources said.

After more than 10 years in North London, the South Korean forward is off to LAFC and it’s one of the biggest departures in recent Spurs history. It’s been tough on James Maddison too, who spoke about how hard it is to imagine the club without Son.

LAFC has landed Son Heung-min, a Premier League player in the prime of his career who has the ability to connect with South Korean fans.
