LONDON — Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their pursuit of Rodrygo Goes from Real Madrid following the departure of club icon Son Heung-min to Los Angeles FC, sparking serious interest in the 24-year-old Brazilian winger.
Son Heung-min Exit Opens Path for Rodrygo
Son’s emotional farewell after a decade at Tottenham marks the end of an era. Heung-min officially leaves Spurs after 454 appearances and 173 goals in a record-breaking move to MLS side LAFC, reportedly worth around £20 million (€27 million).
Freed from Son's hefty wage, the club now has the financial firepower to pursue a marquee signing. Spurs are ready to reinvest and have already submitted a €100 million (£78–90 million) bid for Rodrygo, seen as a strategic replacement .

Outlook: Transfer Drama Heats Up
