Despite being welcomed to the club, Son Heung-Min was honest in mentioning that LAFC was not his first choice. The South Korean spent ten years at Spurs, and now his move to LAFC has caused excitement among MLS fans.

As league action resumes this weekend, the Fire (10-9-5, 35 points) host the first of three straight away days for LAFC (10-6-6, 36 points). New England and Dallas follow, as eight of LAFC’s 12 remaining regular season games take place on the road.

The earliest Son could hit the pitch for LAFC would be on Saturday, Aug. 9, as LAFC visit Chicago Fire FC in a rare cross-conference clash. If he does not debut, then the following two road matches are Aug. 16 against the New England Revolution and Aug. 23 against FC Dallas .
