Two of the best athletes in Asia are changing American sports. And are doing so in the same city. Son Heung-min and Shohei Ohtani are set to corner the Asian sports market in Los Angeles. When Ohtani signed a $700 million contract over 10 years with the Dodgers in 2024, the deal was groundbreaking. A year later, Korea's most famous athlete is set to do the same in the MLS. By agreeing to transfer from Tottenham to LAFC on a fee of $26.5 million. That fee would be the largest in MLS history (Via USA Today). A fee larger than David Beckham and Lionel Messi. The financial windfall of having the 2 most influential Asian athletes in the world playing in the US is historic in itself. To have those same legends playing just 8 miles apart? The impact will be incalculable.
