The speculation surrounding Tottenham Hotspur's iconic winger Son Heung-min has simmered down recently, yet fans are acutely aware that with only a year left on his contract, a summer departure remains a real possibility.
While there are no signs that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is pushing Son to leave, it's crucial for the South Korean superstar to exit on his own terms. Recently, after leading the team to a dramatic Europa League victory, and amidst a managerial shake-up following Ange Postecoglou’s departure, the timing might feel ripe for a fresh chapter for the beloved captain.
Son, nearing 33, faces the prospect of a lucrative overseas move before winding down his career, with attention from clubs typically eyeing veterans. Teams like Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal and Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce in Turkey have been linked to the forward, but now, Major League Soccer (MLS) teams in the United States are also eyeing the Tottenham star.
MLS on the Rise: European Stars Welcome!
Reports from TBR Football's Graeme Bailey and Jamie Brown suggest that LAFC is in talks to bring Son to their roster this summer. LAFC ranks among the most prominent clubs in the MLS and has built a reputation for attracting top talent from Europe.
Currently, the Black and Gold Falcons have former Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and are featuring winger Javairo Dilrosun, who is on loan from Liga MX’s Club America. With their ambition and resources, LAFC aims to bolster their squad further, especially after seeing stars like Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets make their mark in Miami.
The future remains uncertain for Son. Staying at Tottenham could see him continue to provide leadership and skill in high-stakes Champions League matches. However, a move would offer Spurs some financial relief while paving the way to discover his eventual replacement, possibly priming talented players like Mathys Tel for a significant role in the lineup.
As fans hold their breath, one thing is for sure: whatever decision Son makes, it will mark a pivotal moment in both his career and Tottenham's future.
