Son Heung-min is close to completing his transfer to Los Angeles FC for a record-breaking MLS fee of $26.5 million (£20m), ending his 10-year tenure with Tottenham Hotspur. The move comes just days

Son’s 173 Tottenham goals rank fifth all-time, and his 127 often pinpoint league strikes see him slide into the Premier League’s top 20 leading marksman. His legendary status was secured via a glorious finale in Bilbao, with Spurs’ Europa League success allowing Son to ride off into the Californian sunset, boasting a sense of fulfilment.

While the Los Angeles Football Club still needs significant help to advance to the Leagues Cup quarterfinals, it left Tuesday night with a string of positive building blocks. LAFC earned a victory over arguably the strongest side in Liga MX and got a glimpse into its imminent riches.
