Tottenham manager Andrzej Postecoglou 59 mentioned Yang Min-hyuk 18, Kangwon FC, the "high schooling K-League." Yang Min-hyuk is known to be on the verge of transferring to Tottenham.

Tottenham is currently in Japan for its Asian tour. When asked about recruiting Yang, Postecoglou reportedly said, "I am well aware of the quality of the K-League. Actually, when I was with Celtic Scotland, I was going to bring in at least two Korean players. I understand that they brought in Celtic as well. Korean players have made a fantastic impact in Europe."

As Yang's official announcement has yet to be made, Postecoglou did not give a definite answer. However, he did not deny Yang's bid much, leaving a nuance to acknowledge it. He even praised Korean players for their high quality. For his information, Postecoglou, a Greek national, led the prestigious Celtic team in Scotland and took the helm of Tottenham Hotspur last year.

Following Yang Min-hyuk's comment, Postecoglou's sudden praise for Son Heung-min came out. Postecoglou said, "There are many Korean players, but none of them is better than Son. Son is our captain and a great player. I am so happy to have Son come to Tottenham. We are taking a broader look to find such players. However, we cannot give a definite answer yet."

Earlier, European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano said, "Tottenham is close to recruiting Yang Min-hyuk, a 2006 winger for Gangwon FC. The contract will be completed and medical tests will be conducted," adding, "Tottenham scouts believe that Korean striker Yang Min-hyuk has important potential and tremendous talent for the future." Since then, several local media, including Football London, Sky Sports, and the BBC, have also reported on Tottenham's recruitment of Yang Min-hyuk.

Kim Byung-ji, CEO of Gangwon Province, also said last month that Yang Min-hyuk, a striker of the EPL team, has been receiving a lot of love calls from EPL clubs. "There were two to three big clubs for the teams that showed interest in Yang Min-hyuk. Some teams took many Korean players. It is true that foreign agents saw Yang Min-hyuk, and the EPL team is definitely right," Kim said in an appearance on Kangwon's live broadcast.

Yang has become a K-League sensation this year. He scored seven goals and three assists in 24 matches in the 2024 season, posting double-digit attack points from his debut season. Even at an early age, he is regarded as one of the top offensive resources in the league, going beyond serving as a starting member of his team. 토토사이트 추천

Tottenham has recruited top-rated promising players and is preparing for the present and future at the same time. Not only Yang but also young players including Archie Gray and Lucas Veribal joined the team this summer. They are all 18 years old. Yang will also join Tottenham and play as a trio of young bloods. The British Evening Standard also said that Tottenham is targeting the best young talents including Veribal and Gray, adding that Yang will play with South Korea's captain Son Heung-min at Tottenham.
