While the Los Angeles Football Club still needs significant help to advance to the Leagues Cup quarterfinals, it left Tuesday night with a string of positive building blocks. LAFC earned a victory over arguably the strongest side in Liga MX and got a glimpse into its imminent riches.

Son Heung-min watched LAFC's Leagues Cup victory over Tigres ahead of his formal introduction on Wednesday as a new Los Angeles FC player in a record-breaking transfer for the MLS.

Heung-min Son will be unveiled by LAFC on Wednesday as the most expensive signing in Major League Soccer history. The Tottenham captain has agreed a two-year deal and will join for a fee of around £20million, which surpasses the $22m (£16.6m) fee paid by Atlanta United for Emmanuel Latte Lath in February 2025.
