Son poised to join LAFC for £20m after Spurs exit
Son Heung-min is expected to join Los Angeles FC for around £20m after announcing his departure from Tottenham over the weekend. The forward revealed in a news conference on Saturday that he will leave Tottenham this summer after 10 years at the club. And the 33-year-old appears poised to join Major League Soccer (MLS) in what could even be a record fee, potentially surpassing the £22.5m paid by Atlanta United to sign Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough in February. The final details of the transfer remain in discussion but his move to LAFC is now considered subject just to the completion of paperwork and a medical. Son, who is under contract with Spurs until 2026, made what is expected to be his final appearance for Tottenham in a 1-1 pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul on Sunday. He was embraced by his Spurs team-mates and the opposing Newcastle players, and they performed a guard of honour when he was substituted in the 65th minute. While Tottenham's pre-season preparations now take them to Germany to face Bayern Munich on Thursday - and a reunion with Harry Kane -Son is expected to enjoy some time in his native South Korea. Arriving from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015, Son scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Tottenham. He was captain when Tottenham beat Manchester United in the Europa League final in May to clinch their first trophy in 17 years. Son makes emotional Spurs farewell - how much will they miss him?

‘I can tell you': Romano says one what player did over the weekend is ‘confirmation' of where his Utd future lies
Alejandro Garnacho has essentially gone public with his desires to join Chelsea as he anticipates a concrete approach from the London outfit. Desperate to stay in the Premier League next season, the Manchester United graduate has closed the door to any outside interest and, now, has his sights almost solely set on a Stamford Bridge switch. The Club World Cup winners, who earned a healthy £85 million cash injection via their tournament win last month, are expected to make a formal offer before the window closes, although whether it will meet United's demands remains to be seen. Chelsea and Alejandro Garnacho: The state of play Garnacho is desperate to join the Blues before 25/26 gets underway. (Photo by) Chelsea's pursuit of Garnacho has been put on the back burner whilst they try to finalise a deal for Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig. Then, it's anticipated they will turn to the outcast Red to further bolster Enzo Maresca's attacking options following the departures of Noni Madueke (Arsenal) and Joao Felix (Al Nassr). United value the 21-year-old in the region of £40m. However, it's been claimed Chelsea would only be willing to fork out around £30m this summer, meaning there's plenty of work to do in negotiations if an agreement is to come to fruition. The Reds risk being lowballed in talks due to the fact that it's now public knowledge that they want him gone and the player himself wants out. Clubs are well aware that he has no future at Old Trafford and that Ruben Amorim wants to wash his hands of the situation, while Garnacho is also angling for a Chelsea move on social media; when Fabrizio Romano posted an update on the side's interest on Instagram, Garnacho liked the post. Romano: Garnacho is waiting on Chelsea's call Even Romano saw this as direct 'confirmation' that the youngster will be moved on, as he reacted on YouTube, saying: 'I think it's an important confirmation of this interest from Chelsea. The player is fully aware of Chelsea's interest, and I can tell you that Chelsea are fully aware of Garnacho's appreciation. 'So it's a mutual feeling between Chelsea and Garnacho. The player wants to go to Chelsea. The player is giving total priority to Chelsea. The player is waiting for Chelsea to act. 'At the moment, still not a direct negotiation club to club, but I expect that to happen this month in August.'

Liverpool ready to agree three more transfer deals
Liverpool are reportedly ready to agree three more deals before the transfer window shuts close. It's already been a frantically busy summer for Richard Hughes. The club's sporting director has been very active when it comes to reinforcing Liverpool's squad.

LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! With Florian Wirtz, Milos Kerkez, Hugo Ekitike and Jeremie Frimpong already secured, Hughes is now working on moves to bring in a centre-back and try to lure Alexander Isak away from Newcastle. Those two additions would make this an incredible window for Liverpool. However, it's not the only two transfers Hughes is focused on. He still has some important decisions to make when it comes to potential departures. There's the notable players like Darwin Nunez, Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Tyler Morton. But they aren't the only ones. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range The Liverpool ECHO has written about three further deals the Reds are ready to agree including one permanent and two potential loan moves for their exciting wonderkid trio. The first of these surrounds the future of Luca Stephenson who is the subject of an approach from Aberdeen. According to the report the Scottish side are keen to sign him on a permanent deal from Liverpool. At this moment in time, there has been no answer from Liverpool whether they would be willing to allow him to leave permanently. It's also important to note that according to the report, Swansea City, Cardiff City, Rotherham and Reading are also believed to be interested in Stephenson. He is not the only one in high demand. The report claims the second player under consideration by Liverpool is James McConnell. West Bromwich Albion, Ipswich Town, Derby County, Oxford United and Swansea have all enquired about the player's availability according to the report. Meanwhile, French side Metz are also believed to be admirers of him. And last but not least Liverpool are also considering a deal for Lewis Koumas. The exciting winger caught the eye at Stoke City last season and has experience playing for Jurgen Klopp in the first team. Now the ECHO claims that a host of Championship clubs have expressed an interest in the young Welsh star. These include Norwich City, Sheffield United, Hull City, Preston North End, Oxford, Birmingham City and Wrexham. Meanwhile, most interestingly, the report claims Spanish side Sevilla are also considering a move for Koumas, which could be a great move. All in all, it's quite clear that Hughes' focus won't just be on incomings. These three deals the Reds are ready to agree are also going to be on his mind. It's essential he makes the right choice in these situations, too. The likes of Quansah and Morton are examples that the Reds can make a lot of profit from selling on some of their academy stars at the right time.
