Son Heung-min set for Tottenham showdown talks after receiving £15m LAFC offer as South Korean heads into final year of Spurs contract

Son Heung-min is set for crunch talks with Tottenham Hotspur after Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC made a £15 million ($20.2m) offer for the club captain. With just one year remaining on his contract, Spurs are considering his future - but a decision won’t be made until after their lucrative pre-season tour of Asia, where Son’s presence is essential to the financial payout.

  • LAFC make £15m bid for Son
  • delay decision until post-Asia tour
  • Captain’s presence vital for Spurs’ commercial obligations

Tottenham received a £15m offer from LAFC for Son earlier this week, and the Lilywhites are seriously weighing up a potential sale this summer, as per transfer guru Fabrizio Romano. However, earlier reports have suggested that they are not expected to sanction any move until after their Asia tour, where Son is seen as a central figure. The South Korean still has a year left on his deal, and Spurs are open to further discussions.

Despite a rather horrific season in which they finished 17th, Son captained Tottenham to a historic title in 2024-25. The 33-year-old has been a consistent performer over the years, even winning the Golden Boot in 2022. The international still has a year left on his deal, and Spurs are open to further discussions. An exit would mark the end of a decade-long era in north London.

Son remains one of Tottenham’s most popular and marketable players, particularly in Asia, making him crucial to their pre-season plans. Reports suggest Spurs could lose up to 75 per cent of their tour revenue if he doesn’t feature, which is the reason the Lilywhites will only decide on his future after the tour. With Thomas Frank open to either outcome, the club must now balance football and commercial interests before making a decision.

Son is expected to travel and feature in the upcoming pre-season matches in South Korea and Hong Kong. Formal talks about his future will likely resume after the tour concludes. The Black and Gold are keen, but any deal hinges on Son agreeing to a move to the States and to LAFC, in particular.
