Son Heung-Min agreed on Tuesday with a contract with Los Angeles FC and ended his move to Major League Soccer after a decade in Tottenham Hotspur.
The 33-year-old South Korean superstar attacker is announced three days after he formally announced his decision to formally leave Tottenham.
Son lived on Tuesday evening to Lafc’s Leagues Cup match against Tigres at BMO Stadium and looked from a luxury suite. Lafc will formally introduce Son at a press conference on Wednesday, but the club showed the attacker at the Stadium video board in the first half while he was swinging to roaring fans who were enthusiastic because of the historical acquisition of their team.
Lafc, a club with a deep bag with considerable team success in its first eight seasons of existence, is said to have paid transfer costs of more than USD 20 million, which could ultimately be the most ever for an MLS movement.
Son was a beloved presence in Spurs and scored 173 goals in 454 competitive performances for the North London club, while he comes to the world with his combination of speed, playfulness and finishing insight.

He also became 33 only a month ago and put him at the younger end of the Global Stars who recently arrived in MLS.
Lionel Messi and Marco Reus were 35 and Luis Suárez was 37 when they went into the state in recent years, while Olivier Giroud and Hugo Lloris were both 37 when they came to Lafc last year.
Son will be reunited in Los Angeles with the old Tottenham teammate Lloris, who has been excellent since he became Lafc’s goalkeeper last season.
