Heung-min Son will be unveiled by LAFC on Wednesday as the most expensive signing in Major League Soccer history. The Tottenham captain has agreed a two-year deal and will join for a fee of around £20million, which surpasses the $22m (£16.6m) fee paid by Atlanta United for Emmanuel Latte Lath in February 2025.

While the Los Angeles Football Club still needs significant help to advance to the Leagues Cup quarterfinals, it left Tuesday night with a string of positive building blocks. LAFC earned a victory over arguably the strongest side in Liga MX and got a glimpse into its imminent riches.
