Son Heung-min looks to be on his way out of Tottenham Hotspur as the forward is of strong interest abroad.

According to The Times, Los Angeles FC have placed an offer for the South Korean, with the MLS side keen to add the forward to its ranks.

A potential move to Los Angeles would see Son reunite with one of his former Spurs teammates, Hugo Lloris.

The French goalkeeper joined the club last year after he was deemed surplus to requirements in North London.

LAFC are currently fifth in the MLS' Western Conference division and have games in hand over the clubs above them.

Adding a player of high pedigree such as Son would likely propel LAFC's chances of success in the MLS Cup playoffs should the team reach that stage.

Where else is Son of interest?

In addition to interest from the MLS, there is reportedly renewed interest from teams in Saudi Arabia. Son turned down a lucrative four-year offer worth £25m annually from Saudi Pro League side, Al-Ittihad, two years ago.

However, any potential move that takes Son away from Spurs will only occur after the club's pre-season tour of Asia. 

Son is contractually obliged to feature on the tour that will conclude with a game in his native South Korea against Newcastle United on August 3.

If Son does depart, he will leave Spurs having scored 173 goals for the club across a 10-season spell. Last season, he lifted his first piece of silverware with the team after the beating of Manchester United in the Europa League final.

Whilst LAFC are keen on signing Son, there is also a desire to bring German forward, Thomas Muller to the club.

The 35-year-old confirmed his desire to continue playing following his Bayern Munich exit. However, LAFC face competition from another unnamed MLS Club and A-League side, Sydney FC, for his signature.
