Son Heung-min left Tottenham to join Los Angeles FC this summer, with a transfer fee reported to be about $26.5 million. APF executive Don Garber said the signing was historic and Los Angeles FC has paid off.
Don Gaber said: "Sun Heung-min's performance in the past few weeks has been impressive, and the enthusiasm of the Korean audience is amazing. The ratings of the FC have also been high, and Son Heung-min has performed very well on the court, which is exactly what we hope to see. Los Angeles FC is very brave, and this is the highest transfer fee in the history of the FC. It takes a lot of courage, and now they are starting to see the rewards.
"To be honest, I think Son Heung-min's influence is a bit like Messi. At that time, no one expected Messi to trigger such a huge phenomenon. His performance on the court and his achievements on the court were amazing. ”
