Son Heung-min could be set to break another record after an emotional Tottenham send-off.<\/p>\n
Son waved goodbye to Tottenham<\/a> after almost a decade of service in an emotional friendly against Newcastle (3 August), which was filled with bittersweet celebration.<\/p>\n The Spurs captain had announced in a press conference the day before that he would be leaving the North Londoners this summer, with Los Angeles FC pushing for his signature.<\/p>\n With Tottenham\u2019s blessing, Son stayed behind in South Korea<\/a> as the rest of the squad headed back to London to secure his move, which is expected to be finalised shortly.<\/p>\n There was a strong feeling that Son might leave for most of the summer, attracting plenty of suitors to explore a deal with the Spurs icon, including clubs from Saudi Arabia<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, the 33-year-old seems to be sold on a move to LAFC, where he will reunite with former captain Hugo Lloris.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n As reported by the BBC<\/a> (4 August), the transfer fee is expected to cost the US side around \u00a320million, and could even eclipse the \u00a322.5million that Atlanta United spent to secure Emmanuel Latte in February.<\/p>\n This would see Son make history as the most expensive player ever to be signed by an MLS side, and see Tottenham potentially make a profit on the player they bought in August 2015.<\/p>\n PlayerYear soldValueHarry Kane2023\u00a3100mGareth Bale2013\u00a385mKyle Walker2017\u00a350mDimitar Berbatov2008\u00a330.75mLuka Modric2012\u00a330mTottenham\u2019s five biggest sales<\/p>\n It would also represent the Lilywhites\u2019 biggest sale since Harry Kane<\/a> joined Bayern Munich just under two years ago.<\/p>\n Tottenham have had poor form in selling players over the last few years, and will hope Son is not the exception this summer as Thomas Frank will look to offload<\/a> more senior players in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n One thing that threatened to dampen the celebrations on Sunday was James Maddison, who looks to have re-injured<\/a> the same knee that kept him out for the end of last season.<\/p>\n The playmaker was seen leaving the Seoul World Cup Stadium on crutches and will now face another lengthy spell on the sidelines.<\/p>\n The injury list is piling up at Spurs, especially in the front line, and will reinforce Frank and Tottenham\u2019s need to strengthen ahead of next season.<\/p>\n Dejan Kulusevski \u2013 Knee Dominic Solanke \u2013 AnkleKota Takai \u2013 FootDestiny Udogie \u2013 KneeRadu Dragusin \u2013 Knee<\/p>\n The Lilywhites were already looking to bring in Morgan Gibbs-White<\/a> before the setback to his international colleague, and will now need to double their efforts to bring in at least one new attacker. <\/p>\n![\"Tottenham](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/son-heung-min-1-1024x576.jpg\")
