"It's very clear that Sonny will start and lead the team out as captain," Tottenham coach Thomas Frank said. "If that is the last game for Sonny, what a place to do it here in front of his home fans. It could be a beautiful ending."

'Dream come true:' Son Heung-min Joins LAFC, Latest Star to Make MLS Leap
MLS 'Dream come true:' Son Heung-min Joins LAFC, Latest Star to Make MLS Leap Published Aug. 6, 2025 7:58 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Son Heung-min has arrived at LAFC with great excitement and even greater ambitions for the next stage of his groundbreaking soccer career. "I'm here to win, and I will perform," Son said at a packed news conference. "I will definitely show you something exciting ... are we calling it football or soccer? I will definitely show some exciting football, and we definitely will have success." LAFC formally introduced its new forward Wednesday at BMO Stadium, where his likeness already looms over the main entrance gates and on video boards surrounding the stadium. The 33-year-old South Korean superstar arrives after a professional career spent in Europe, including the past decade at Tottenham. "What can I say? Dream come true. L.A., what a city," said Son, who will wear No. 7 in black and gold. Son had suitors from around the globe after he decided to leave Spurs, and he said the decision to join LAFC initially wasn't obvious. He came around to the idea of moving to MLS after conversations with LAFC general manager John Thorrington, who sold Son on the 8-year-old club's ambition to be an international brand and the most successful club in North America. "If I'm honest, it was not my first choice," Son said. "But (from the) first call when I talked to John after the season finished, he just changed my mind. He changed my heart. He changed my brain. He showed me the destination where I should be. Right now, I'm here. I'm more than happy." ADVERTISEMENT Son laughingly said he was also pitched aggressively by Hugo Lloris, his longtime teammate at Tottenham who is now LAFC's starting goalkeeper. Son is South Korea's most popular athlete, and he is widely considered to be the greatest Asian soccer player in history. He said he already feels at home in Los Angeles, which has the world's largest ethnic Korean population outside Korea and a robust base of soccer fans from all backgrounds who appreciate his accomplishments. Son's introductory news conference was attended by Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, South Korea's consul general, several additional politicians, dozens of Korean journalists and dozens of drum-beating, singing fans from the LAFC supporters' group famous for its relentless, raucous noise during matches. Son already got a taste of LAFC fans' passion Tuesday when he attended the club's Leagues Cup victory over Tigres. "On behalf of millions of Angelenos and soccer fans around the world — Sonny, welcome to Los Angeles," Bass said. "This is a moment that will be remembered in the city for generations to come." Son joins a lengthy list of soccer stars from European leagues who moved to Hollywood for a second act in their careers. Gareth Bale, Giorgio Chiellini and Olivier Giroud have all suited up for LAFC, while the crosstown rival LA Galaxy have welcomed even more European superstars, including David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robbie Keane and Marco Reus. Son did not appear to be in decline during the past season as Tottenham's captain, and he said he is in good shape after participating in Spurs' summer tour of Asia. He did not set a date for his LAFC debut, but it could be this month. "I just felt like I need a new chapter, I need a new challenge, and I choose LAFC," Son said. "I think we can say I'm old, but I still have a good physicality, good legs, and still have a good quality. I'm here to perform, but also I want to give some advice to the young players for improvement. That's why we are here." Reporting by The Associated Press.

Marcus Rashford remains confident in Barcelona's player registration plan
Marcus Rashford remains confident in Barcelona's player registration plan originally appeared on The Sporting News FC Barcelona remain in the midst of a financial crisis, which has significantly impacted their transfer strategy over the past few seasons. And just like in recent years, they head into the 2025-26 campaign with issues revolving around player registration. Last season, it was Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor who were given temporary permits to play in La Liga through the month of December before the Consejo Superior de Deportes approved both players' registrations for the remainder of the campaign. This year, the club still need to register five players for the upcoming season before the Sept. 1 deadline. Among those players — a list that includes two contributors from last year (Gerard Martín and Wojciech Szczęsny) and two new signings (Joan García from RCD Espanyol and Roony Bardghji from FC Copenhagen) — is Marcus Rashford, Barcelona's highest-profile addition this summer. Despite the recent troubles Barcelona have experienced with player registration, Rashford told reporters he is not worried about missing La Liga games because of it. "It's something for the club to sort out," Rashford said in a video posted on Spanish newspaper Sport's website on Aug. 3. "I believe they are going to get it sorted. I just focus on training and be ready for the start of the season." Rashford, who is still under contract at parent club Manchester United, made his move to Barcelona official on July 23. It marked his second loan stint of the year, as the Red Devils sent Rashford on loan to Aston Villa for the remainder of the 2024-25 Premier League season in early February. This time around, he will be with Barcelona for the full 2025-26 campaign. Soon after his loan went official, Rashford joined the squad on its Asia Tour. He made his debut for the Blaugrana in a 45-minute stint against FC Seoul on July 31 and then scored his first goal against Daegu FC four days later. Barcelona still have one more match on their summer calendar — a Joan Gamper Trophy exhibition match against Como. But after weeks of preseason training and friendlies, Rashford is excited for the season to come. "It's been a good preseason. It's been good to integrate into the team. I've enjoyed getting used to the team, used to the coach," Rashford said, via ESPN's Adriana Garcia. "There is a lot of great players, but I knew that before I came here. The quality is very high, the intensity is very high, and this is what we need to continue having throughout the season. "Hopefully, we can go one step further than last season and win the Champions League."

Burnley close to securing transfer of talented French midfielder from Chelsea
Burnley close to securing transfer of talented French midfielder from Chelsea originally appeared on The Sporting News Burnley are remaining busy in the transfer market as the newly promoted Premier League club are close to bringing in another summer signing. The Clarets' busy transfer activity has seen 10 permanent deals go through, and so far looks to be giving Scott Parker every possible chance to keep his side up next season. However, last season's Championship runners-up had yet to officially address the midfield area. Doing so would have been a priority after previous skipper, Josh Brownhill, recently left the club. Now, the club is making positive moves in that area of the pitch as a deal to sign Chelsea's Lesley Ugochukwu is at an advanced stage. The Frenchman looks poised to join Burnley for a fee worth over £20m and is set to have his medical imminently. Upon passing his medical tests, the 21-year-old will commit to a five-year contract with The Clarets and ultimately give Parker more options in the defensive and central midfield areas. 📲 Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp Getty After breaking through at Rennes, Ugochukwu moved to Chelsea two years ago for £23.1m and signed a seven-year contract. However, he only played 12 league games for Chelsea and was shipped out to Southampton on loan last season. The French Under-21 international will be hoping his career can stabilise upon playing under Parker and he can showcase his ability which earned him the move to Chelsea in 2023. Burnley's summer business has now involved multiple dealings with Chelsea. Striker, Armando Broja, is set to join The Clarets for a similar fee to the Ugochukwu deal, and left-back, Bashir Humphreys, has joined for £10m after spending last season on loan with Parker's side. Burnley supporters will be hoping that Ugochukwu and Broja will be up and running in time for the club's first Premier League fixture of the season away to Tottenham Hotspur on August 16. Ugochukwu is one of three midfielders that Chelsea are close to moving on at this moment. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is set to depart to Everton for around £28m, while a potential permanent sale for Carney Chukwuemeka to Borussia Dortmund is being discussed after the midfielder spent last season on loan at the Bundesliga club.
