Los Angeles FC are reportedly plotting an audacious move to sign Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min, in what could become one of the most sensational transfers of the summer window.
The South Korean superstar, who has been a talismanic figure for Spurs since joining in 2015, is attracting serious interest from the MLS outfit. Sources suggest LAFC are preparing a substantial offer to test Tottenham's resolve.
Record-Breaking Deal on the Horizon?
If completed, the transfer would likely shatter existing MLS records, both in terms of transfer fee and wages. The 31-year-old forward remains one of Tottenham's most valuable assets, having scored 15 Premier League goals last season.
Why LAFC Want Son
LAFC's ambitious owners see Son as the perfect marquee signing to:
- Elevate the club's global profile
- Boost commercial opportunities in Asian markets
- Provide on-field leadership for their playoff push
The California-based club have developed a reputation for attracting big names, having previously signed Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini.
Tottenham's Dilemma
Spurs face a difficult decision:
- New manager Ange Postecoglou values Son's experience
- The player has two years remaining on his contract
- Replacing his goals and leadership would be costly
However, with Son entering his twilight years, Tottenham might consider cashing in rather than risk losing him for free later.
Fan Reaction
The potential move has sparked heated debate among supporters of both clubs. While LAFC fans are excited by the prospect of adding a world-class attacker, many Tottenham faithful argue their captain is irreplaceable.
One thing is certain - if this transfer materialises, it will send shockwaves through both the Premier League and MLS.
