The former Tottenham Hotspur captain received a warm welcome at both Los Angeles International Airport and at Tuesday's LAFC game, following reports that he intended to join the MLS club on a league-record $26.5 million transfer fee. Tottenham confirmed the move on Wednesday, and Son was officially introduced as a member of LAFC.

LAFC had been in search of a new attacking star after Olivier Giroud returned to France last month. The void left by the Frenchman’s exit will now be filled by a player who’s scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for Tottenham—ranking fifth all-time in club history and trailing only the likes of Harry Kane and Jimmy Greaves.
