Son Heung-min, commonly known as Son, is a very famous and popular football player from South Korea. He has had a legendary career with Tottenham Hotspur since 2015. Sadly, after winning the UEFA Europa League (UEL) in May 2025, Son has decided to move to the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC).
Son left Tottenham after being together for 10 years, and this is a huge moment for both teams and Son himself. For LAFC, he is currently the second South Korean player in the entire LAFC’s history. About two weeks after joining, Son scored his first goal against FC Dallas on August 23, 2025. In the subsequent games, Son continued his legacy and led his team to victory with amazing teamwork with his new teammates.
Many fans showed mixed emotions about Son’s switch of teams. Some even worried Son would steal all fans from Tottenham to LAFC due to his popularity and huge fan base. However, both sides hoped for better conditions for Son. Although there is some sadness about Son leaving Tottenham, no one is opposing Son’s decision to switch teams.
“I feel bad for Tottenham, but I hope it gives Son a better opportunity to shine,” Tristen Wong, a long-time fan of Son, said.
Another fan of Tottenham, Irene Jung, also shared her thoughts on Son’s departure.
“I feel like Son leaving Tottenham is going to take away a lot of Tottenham fans with him, but it is what it is,” Jung said.
While this could be sad news for Tottenham fans, it is great news for LAFC fans, since a very famous and talented player is joining their team. They are already excited over what they saw in a recent couple of games, and are anticipating seeing striking wins with Son on their team.
