Son Heung-min waves to roaring Los Angeles fans after agreeing deal with club | Los Angeles FC
Son Heung-Min accepted a contract with Los Angeles FC after a decade in Tottenham. The 33 -year -old attended the LAFC home leagues victory against Tigres on Tuesday, looking at a luxury suite, and will be presented on Wednesday.
The club showed the attacker on the stadium video card at the end of the first half. Lafc, a rich club with significant success during its first eight seasons of existence, would have paid more than $ 20 million (15 million pounds sterling).
His scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for the Spurs and received a memorable farewell last week in Seoul during the Tottenham exhibition match against Newcastle, receiving an honor guard from the two teams and leaving the field in tears in the second period.
The most popular athlete in South Korea has chosen an auspicious scene for the next chapter of his career. Los Angeles has the largest Ethnic Korean population outside Korea, with the city’s dynamic Koreatown district a few kilometers from the BMO stadium in the LAFC.
Lafc is sixth in the Western Conference, but with several games in hand after participating in the Club World Cup. His will be brought together in Los Angeles with his former Tottenham teammate, Hugo Lloris.
His seems better suited to Lafc than Olivier Giroud, who moved to Lille last month after a disappointing year in California. Lafc plays a style of counterattack based on speed that did not suit Giroud’s goalscorer forces.
