"Tottenham Hotspur bid farewell to Son Heung-min earlier this year, ending a 10-year association with the North London club, as the Korean international went Stateside. For the first time in his Spurs career, Son found himself mired in the bottom half of the Premier League, helping the club avoid relegation after finishing 17th in the table, having begun games on the bench with increasing regularity."
"After taking part in a pre-season friendly in Hong Kong versus Arsenal, Son announced his decision to depart Tottenham after a decade. He said his goodbyes to Spurs fans following a 1-1 friendly draw against Newcastle in South Korea before heading across the Pacific and joining MLS side LAFC for an MLS-record fee of $26.5 million (19.7m). It hasn't taken long for him to make that price tag look like a bargain, assisting a goal in his first start before opening the scoring in Dallas with a world-class free kick. It's a goal that will go down in the history books, with Son awarded the AT&T MLS Goal of the Year."
"Son then enjoyed a world-class September that saw him score eight goals and register two assists in six appearances for club and country. After being nullified in his first three outings during October, he returned from the international break by opening the scoring in LAFC's regular season finale against Colorado Rapids. LAFC are firing on all cylinders at the moment with six wins from eight."
Son Heung-min departed Tottenham Hotspur after a ten-year association to join LAFC for an MLS-record fee of $26.5 million (€19.7m). He helped Tottenham avoid relegation during a difficult final season, finishing 17th, and won his first club trophy by beating Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League Final, ending a 17-year Spurs trophy drought. Son debuted for LAFC by assisting in his first start and scored a world-class free kick in Dallas that earned the AT&T MLS Goal of the Year. He scored eight goals and provided two assists in September across club and country. LAFC won six of eight and sit among the highest-scoring MLS teams.
