MLS side LAFC reportedly preparing approach for Son Heung-min

 

SON TO MLS? LAFC REPORTEDLY PREPARING SUMMER SWOOP FOR TOTTENHAM'S ASIAN SUPERSTAR

Major League Soccer could be on the brink of another blockbuster moment, as LAFC have reportedly set their sights on Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-min Son in what would be one of the most high-profile transfers in MLS history.

The Los Angeles-based club is believed to be exploring a sensational summer swoop for the South Korean forward, who remains a talismanic figure at Spurs and one of the Premier League’s most recognizable stars globally. While a deal remains speculative at this stage, LAFC's growing ambitions and financial strength make the prospect a genuine talking point as the summer window unfolds.

Son, who turns 33 next summer, has spent nearly a decade in North London, consistently delivering goals, assists, and moments of brilliance. Having recently taken on the club captaincy, his leadership both on and off the pitch remains central to Tottenham’s plans under Ange Postecoglou. However, with Spurs continuing their squad evolution and Son entering the final stages of his prime, a lucrative overseas move could tempt both player and club.

For LAFC, the pursuit represents their intent to maintain a global profile and reinforce their squad with elite-level talent. The MLS side has previously brought in stars like Gareth Bale and Carlos Vela, and acquiring a player of Son’s calibre would be a statement move not only for the club but for the entire league. His massive following across Asia and international appeal would bring both commercial and competitive benefits.

While no formal offer is believed to have been submitted, early talks through intermediaries may determine if a transfer is realistic — and whether Son would entertain a move away from European football at this stage of his career.

As LAFC continue to push for silverware and global relevance, the idea of Heung-min Son in black and gold could soon evolve from dream to reality.
