Advertisement LAFC will pay a transfer fee of around US$26 million for the Spurs and South Korea captain, GiveMeSport and ESPN reported, which would break the Major League Soccer record of US$22 million that Atlanta United paid to acquire Emmanuel Latte Lath in the last off-season. Son, 33, announced over the weekend that he planned to leave Tottenham, saying he achieved everything that he could with the North London club and he was interested in a new challenge. Tottenham faced Newcastle United in a friendly in Seoul on Sunday, which served as Son's farewell match. He received a standing ovation and a guard of honour and said he had 'a huge respect and am very grateful' to his old club. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min raises the Europa League trophy in May.

The 25-year-old, who rejected a Pakistan call-up in 2019, has been snapped up by Hong Kong Football Club for the forthcoming Premier League campaign. 'I knew a Premier League team would come for me,' Khan said. 'I was hoping others would, but it was only HKFC, and I'm very grateful to them for this opportunity.'
