[Financial News] 'Captain' Son Heung-min (32) has confirmed his transfer to Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in Major League Soccer (MLS) and is embarking on a new challenge. 
LAFC announced that they will hold a press conference at BMO Stadium on August 6 at 2 PM local time (6 AM on the 7th Korean time) for a "major announcement." Already, foreign media such as AP News have urgently reported, citing LAFC's press release, that "Son Heung-min has agreed to a contract with LAFC and the transfer from Tottenham to LAFC has been completed." This press conference is expected to be essentially Son Heung-min's 'official signing' and 'induction ceremony.'
Son Heung-min coordinated and finalized the contract details with LAFC officials in Seoul. He then departed for LA on an evening flight the previous day. LAFC plans to broadcast this major announcement live on their official website and YouTube channel.
Particularly, the fact that LAFC unusually distributed this press release simultaneously in English and Korean shows the club's special hospitality and expectations for Son Heung-min. 
Son Heung-min played for Tottenham Hotspur in the EPL for the past 10 years, recording 127 goals in 454 official matches, 19 goals in domestic cup competitions, and 27 goals in European club competitions, with a total of 101 assists. In the 2021-2022 EPL season, he scored 23 goals, setting a remarkable record by becoming the joint top scorer with Mohamed Salah.
