Son walked away from Spurs after a decade of loyal service. He signed off on a high, having captained the الدوري الإنجليزي الممتاز outfit to الدوري الأوروبي glory in 2024-25. Said success brought a 17-year wait for major silverware to a close.
A new challenge is now being embraced, with Son deciding – like انتر Miami superstar Lionel Messi before him – to go chasing the American dream. He finds himself in Los Angeles, with his arrival there causing quite a stir.
Son believes that he can get even better, telling reporters: “I think I’m still adapting [to] this league, but I think I still can play better than where I am at for sure. I think it’s a lot of communication with the players, and I think I have a very, very close relationship with everyone.
“It’s been five weeks, six weeks, I would say, but everybody just welcomed me so well and been communicating a lot of things. Also off the pitch, I think it’s very important ثقافة-wise. There’s still other things in this league and then still understanding players each other more, but I think it quite works really well at the moment.”
Son has now hit five goals through six appearances for LAFC. Oddly, five of his games so far have been away fixtures. Three of his next four will, however, be in the City of Angels and that will allow him to enhance his fan favourite status in front of an adoring home support.
