Tottenham Hotspur attacker Son Heung-min has been linked with a move away from the club during the summer transfer window.

The 31-year-old is no longer an indispensable asset for the north London club, and he could be sold in the coming weeks.

Tottenham exit draws close

According to a report from CaughtOffside, MLS side LAFC is keen on securing his signature. The report claims that talks with Tottenham have accelerated in recent days, and the transfer is now entering a critical phase. LAFC are now closing in on the South Korean International, and Tottenham want €25 million for him. The fee could prove to be a bargain.

He has been an exceptional servant for Tottenham over the years, but he is entering the twilight stage of his career. This could be the right time for the Premier League to cash in on him and bring in a younger alternative.

Son could be sensational in the MLS

The 31-year-old could still be a very useful acquisition for most teams, and he would be a coup for LAFC. Apart from his world-class quality, the commercial appeal of his transfer could be hugely beneficial for the club.

Son has proven himself to be a top-class player over the years, and this could be the right time for him to move on and try out a new challenge.

Even though he was not at his best for Tottenham last season, he scored 11 goals and produced 12 assists. There is no doubt that he has the quality to make a defining impact in the MLS.

It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can replace him properly. They have already signed Mohammed Kudus, but they need another dynamic attacker if the South Korean International leaves the club.

It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can wrap up the move quickly.
