The young players are either brilliant or are close to retirement veterans who see the league as their final adventure. However, his son Hyun Min does not fit into any of these categories. The 33-year-old Korean star is an elite player who can shine in Bayern Munich&#8217;s Barcelona or compete further in the Premier League. However, he decided to trade North London for Southern California. His move to the Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) is paid in the $20 and $26 million region, making it clear that MLS is ready to compete for talent on its prime.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">My son Hyun Min, more than a scorer<\/h2>\n<p>During his decade at Tottenham Hotspur, his son Hyun Min became a club legend. Not only for his goals and speed, but also for his human qualities. He organized dinners for his team staff, was the godfather of his teammates&#8217; children, and treated everyone with the same respect, regardless of their role in the club.<\/p>\n<p>His impact on the Premier League was notable. He supported the Spurs for his first title in 17 years, breaking the record as the Asian with the most goals in the English league.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Why did my son Hyun Min choose MLS and LAFC?<\/h2>\n<p>While many of his sons were hoping to make a leap to another European club, he surprised everyone by choosing a league that would grow. Sources close to the player said the striker rejected multiple offers from major European and Asian teams, indicating that his decision was personal and strategic, rather than economic. This factor, coupled with his desire to experience something different, was key to closing the deal.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\"> Immediate impact on LAFC and MLS<\/h2>\n<p>LAFC hasn&#8217;t experienced the best moments of the season. They are currently sixth in the Western Conference, with a record of 10 wins, six draws and six losses. The arrival of the son could be the boost the team needs to establish themselves as a title contender.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, from a sports marketing perspective, the presence of someone like his son Heung Min attracts new fans, especially within the Asian community in the US. This could mean an increase in ticket sales, jerseys and the international presence of the league.<\/p>\n<p>The signature is expected to be official in early August. His son will make his debut and LAFC performances will help him move towards the final stretch of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marca.com\/en\/football\/mls\/2025\/08\/05\/689235db268e3e0c798b45d2.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>mAjor League Soccer has issued a statement.
