It is true that Inter Miami opened the door for a new era in MLS with the arrivals from Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and now Rodrigo de Paul. However, Lafc has not been far behind. At that time they brought names such as Hugo Lloris and Olivier Giroud (who have left since), while also maximizing the impact of Denis Bouanga, who has attracted interest from various clubs.
Now Lafc is preparing to welcome the Heung-Min Son from Tottenham Hotspur, where he enjoyed a brilliant enchantment and succeeded in saying goodbye with a long-awaited trophy to that time the greatest unfulfilled goal of the club until that time.
Lafc comes from their most recent performance in the FIFA Club World Cup, although their campaign was a disappointment. They now want to run the page and build on the experience. In the Leagues Cup they made an effort and did not need even three points in their first two games. In the meantime, they are currently in MLS game sixth in the Western Conference, with 36 points from 22 games. As the last part of the season approaches, they want to make a strong push.
It is clear that SON will bring enormous value for both Lafc and an MLS that continues to grow by attracting a world -class talent. Just as Rodrigo de Paul recently left Atlético de Madrid to become a member of Inter Miami, Son now leaves Tottenham to start a new chapter in the United States. If there is one quality that the son has defined during his career, it is discipline – making an excellent addition from the first day.
According to Tom Bogert, the transfer of SON will be historical – the most expensive in the history of MLS – with Lafc who pays nearly $ 27 million. The current record is from the relocation of $ 22 million from Emmanuel Latte Lat to Atlanta United. Bogert also reports that Son is already on his way to Los Angeles for his medical.
