Son Heung-min's Groundbreaking MLS Move to LAFC

In a landmark move in Major League Soccer, South Korean football star Son Heung-min has been transferred to Los Angeles FC, as both clubs confirmed on Wednesday. Son's transfer from Tottenham Hotspur marks the end of a celebrated ten-year tenure at the London-based club.
