South Korean superstar Son Heung-min is signing with LAFC for MLS record transfer fee
LAFC's signing of South Korean national team captain Son Heung-min appears to be one of those rare acquisitions that checks every box and helps everybody. Not only is it one of the most significant signings in MLS history, but it instantly makes LAFC better while boosting the World Cup hopes of the Korean national team and the profile of Korean soccer in the U.S. But in few places will the impact of the signing, which is expected to be completed Tuesday, be felt more directly than in Southern California's Korean community, the largest in the U.S. 'The Korean community has been buzzing ever since rumors of Son Heung-min's potential move to LAFC began to spread,' said Kyeongjun Kim, a writer with The Korean Daily, the largest Korean-language media outlet in the U.S. 'The fact that a player of his caliber is coming to L.A. is monumental event. 'Son's move to the LAFC is as exciting — if not moreso — than when Chan-ho Park and Hyun-jin Ryu joined the Dodgers.' Luring Son, 33, away from Tottenham of the English Premier League, where he spent the last 10 seasons, came at a high price though. Although financial details of the signing were not announced, a league official with knowledge of the negotiations said the transfer fee easily topped the MLS-record $22 million Atlanta United paid to Middlesbrough in February for the rights to striker Emmanuel Latte Lath. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, put the price at $26 million, more than LAFC's total payroll of nearly $22.4 million, which is sixth-highest in the league. Yet, strangely, that could still prove to be something of a bargain and represents another signing coup for general manager John Thorrington who, over the past four seasons, has signed Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud, the most-capped and highest scorer for the French national team, respectively; Giorgio Chiellini and Gareth Bale, captains of the Italian and Welsh national teams, respectively; and Denis Bouanga, who led the MLS in goals in the last two full seasons. Thorrington didn't have to break the bank to do any of it. LAFC earned $10 million from it's participation in this summer's Club World Cup, money it then invested in Son. And despite the massive transfer fee, the team could actually profit financially from the deal since it has long believed a Korean star playing in Los Angeles would more than pay for itself in marketing and sponsorship deals, much the same way the Dodgers have profited off Japan's Shohei Ohtani. Kim said that's a very good bet. 'The passion and influence of Korean and Korean-American soccer fans should never be underestimated,' he said, noting that major European clubs with Korean players have begun posting online content in Korean. 'Korean broadcasters,' he predicted 'may seek to acquire broadcasting rights and new business opportunities could emerge. Son's arrival at LAFC will benefit not only the club but also the league as a whole.' The impact won't be limited to the Korean community, however. Son, who was one of the most popular players in the Premier League, speaks English well and has a positive and humble personality, which will make him easy to market across ethnic boundaries.

How Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson balance work and real-life relationships with NFL's biggest stars
Fox Sports personalities Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson lifted the lid on their close bond with the NFL's biggest stars following their offseason vacation with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. During a fan Q&A on the latest installment of their 'Calm Down' podcast, Andrews and Thompson didn't hold back when asked how they balance being professional and having 'fan energy' while interviewing the league's megastars. 'I don't,' said Andrews, 47, who is Fox's lead sideline reporter and covered Super Bowl 2025 in February. 'I'm a huge fan of all the guys I cover and I get so excited to talk to them.' 7 Charissa Thompson and Erin Andrews covering Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, as the 2025 game was aired on Fox on February 9. Instagram/Charissa Thompson Thompson, who hosts the 'Fox NFL Kickoff' show and 'Thursday Night Football' on Prime Video, agreed with Andrews. 'I still get really excited for whoever it is,' Thompson, 43, said. 'I remember [Buccaneers quarterback] Baker Mayfield has this crazy, crazy comeback and I totally turned into a fan and that was probably not professional, but I didn't care, that was f–king awesome. I'm a sports fan and dramatic finishes, and no matter who it is — next week, it could be the opposite in terms of who I'm rooting for. 'I like to watch good football and if something good happens for guys we root for and care about, then yeah, I don't care… There is a time and a place, but then you also still need to have the balance of professional cadence.' 7 CeeDee Lamb #88 of the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott #4 of the Dallas Cowboys are interviewed by Erin Andrews after the game against the New York Giants at AT&T Stadium on November 12, 2023 in Arlington, Texas.

Getty Images Andrews, who joined Fox in 2012 after a stint with ESPN, went on to explain that building relationships with the players comes with experience. 'Listen, it's taken us a minute to get where we are,' said Andrews, who is married to retired two-time Stanley Cup champion Jarret Stoll. 'You have to build up credibility… with not only with viewers at home, your bosses and also, the players and the coaches. You can't go into things when you first start with any job like, 'Oh my god!' People will look at you and be like,' You're an a–hole.' 7 (L-R) Charissa Thompson, Tony Gonzalez, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Andrew Whitworth, Richard Sherman on set of the TNF on Prime postgame show after a Seahawks-Bears game at Soldier Field on December 26, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois.

AP 'But I think of certain times that I've interviewed Patrick [Mahomes] or I've interviewed Aaron [Rodgers] after big games or anybody really… I love this about Fox so much, I remember when I first got to Fox, somebody said, 'They want to see you having a good time and smiling.' And it's so true. '… There is nothing wrong with sitting on the [show] desk with Baker after an amazing game or any of these guys and be like, 'Can we just talk about this last play?' It's awesome.' Front Office Sports reported last month that Andrews and Thompson, whose respective contracts expired after the 2024-25 season, will receive lucrative extensions before the start of the next NFL campaign. 7 (L-R) Kylie Kelce, Erin Andrews, Charissa Thompson ,Travis kelce, Jarret Stoll and Steven Cundari at Taylor Swift's concert at Wembley Stadium in London in June 2024.

Swift attended her first Chiefs game in September 2023 before stepping out publicly with Kelce a month later.
