According to numerous reports, including from Fabrizio Romano, Son, 33, is close to agreeing a move to Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer and talks are at an advanced stage. Son confirmed he will be able to say more about his next club after the friendly against Newcastle on Sunday.

Spurs boss Thomas Frank admits it is a shame that he will not get to work with Heung-min Son this season. Son has announced that he is set to leave the club where he has spent ten years this summer, and is Tottenham’s fourth all-time record goalscorer and fifth highest appearance holder.
