Son Heung-Min announces he is leaving Tottenham

Son Heung-min admits a move to Los Angeles FC was not his "first choice" but a chat with the club's president "changed his heart" to join for a record Major League Soccer (MLS) fee. BBC Sport understands LAFC have paid a fee in excess of £20m for the former Tottenham Hotspur captain, whose two-year contract has the option of an additional two years. Son revealed in a news conference on Saturday he would leave Tottenham after 10 years at the club. The 33-year-old was present at LAFC's 2-1 Leagues Cup win over Mexican side Tigres UANL on Tuesday. The fee paid to Spurs for the South Korean surpasses the previous MLS record of £16.5m paid by Atlanta United to sign Emmanuel Latte Lath from Middlesbrough in February. "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. "We wish him all the best for the future, and he will always be welcome back at the club as a beloved and cherished member of our Spurs family."

Manchester United host Manchester City on Saturday in what could be one of their most evenly matched Premier League encounters in years.

  United have won eight games in a row and could equal their longest winning run in all competitions since Alex Ferguson retired as manager in 2013.   Second-placed City, who are four points above United, lost to Southampton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. "The improvement of [United's] team is clear," said City boss Pep Guardiola. United are closing in on the loan signing of Burnley striker Wout Weghorst but he will not be eligible to play because he would have needed to be registered by 12:00 GMT on Friday. Anthony Martial is a doubt with a leg injury, so in-form Marcus Rashford, who has scored seven goals in his last six games, could play as a centre-forward.

Paul Pogba Ruled Out of Real Madrid Clash as Fitness Concerns Persist

Paul Pogba will play no part in the upcoming UEFA Champions League showdown against Real Madrid after failing to reach full fitness in time for the trip to Spain. The French midfielder has been left out of the traveling squad, bringing an abrupt halt to hopes of seeing him feature in one of Europe’s most anticipated fixtures. Despite positive signs in recent training sessions, Pogba’s physical condition has not progressed far enough to meet the demands of a high-intensity Champions League encounter. Club medical staff, wary of aggravating an already delicate situation, have opted for caution rather than risk a premature return on one of football’s biggest stages. His absence represents a significant blow for the coaching staff, particularly given Pogba’s experience, composure in possession, and ability to influence matches on the grandest occasions. Against a Real Madrid side renowned for controlling midfield battles in European competition, losing a player of Pogba’s stature alters ...
