LAFC pushing to sign Tottenham star Heung-min Son
Los Angeles FC want to sign Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-min Son (h/t The Athletic). The Major League Soccer franchise are making a serious effort to bring Son to the United States before their current season ends. Although no breakthrough has been achieved yet, discussions are ongoing among all parties. There is strong hope within the LAFC camp that Son will be persuaded to make the switch to MLS in the coming weeks. The 2025 MLS secondary transfer window officially opens on July 24 and will remain active until August 21. If an agreement is reached within that period, Son could join the squad in time to play a key role in their season run-in. Son could reunite with former Spurs teammate The South Korean has already carved his name into Tottenham's history as one of the club's most celebrated players over the past decade. The winger finally lifted silverware with Spurs last season, helping them win the 2024/25 UEFA Europa League. He previously established a remarkable personal record in England, scoring at least 10 goals in eight straight Premier League campaigns. That run ended last season, as he registered seven goals and nine assists in 30 top-flight matches. If the move goes through, Son would link up again with Hugo Lloris, his long-time teammate at Spurs. Lloris joined LAFC in early 2024 and has since made 52 appearances in MLS competitions. His presence in Los Angeles is one of the factors encouraging the club to pursue Son. LAFC are currently fifth in the Western Conference table but have played fewer matches than several of their rivals. Their fixture schedule was affected by their participation in the FIFA Club World Cup this summer. The addition of a player of Son's quality and profile could be a significant boost for the club's title push this season. With time still left in the window and talks ongoing, LAFC are hopeful of getting a deal done to bring Son to California.

MLS side make approach for Tottenham captain Son
Los Angeles FC have approached Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-min Son to discuss a potential transfer to the club this summer. The MLS side want to make Son their new marquee player, following the departure of Olivier Giroud to Lille. Son captained Spurs to Europa League success last season, his first major trophy with the club after a decade in North London. He scored 11 times and added 10 assists in all competitions. Paul Tenorio, of The Athletic, has confirmed the approach from LAFC. The Black and Gold are currently fifth in the Western Conference Standings. Discussions between LAFC and Son are at the early stages and the South Korean will speak with new Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank to discuss his future. Son joined Spurs from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 and has scored 173 goals in 454 games for the North Londoners. He is regarded as arguably the greatest Asian footballer of all time, becoming the first player from Asia to win the Premier League's Golden Boot and reach 100 goals in the division.
