“It’s a dream come true. LA – what a city,” said Son on Wednesday.
“If I’m honest, it was not my first choice. But the first call I had with [LAFC co-president] John [Thorrington] after my season finished, he changed my mind, changed my heart, my brain.
“He showed me the destination where I should be. Now I’m here, I’m more than happy, I’m so excited.”
In a club press release published earlier, Son was quoted as saying: “Los Angeles has such a rich history of champions, and I am here to help write the next chapter. I’m excited for this new challenge in MLS. I have come to LA to lift trophies and give everything for this club, this city, and its fans.”
Son joins an LAFC side currently sixth in the Western Conference and reunites with former Tottenham team-mate Hugo Lloris.
