The so-called 'non-official' (BBC report) appeared. It seems that Yang Min-hyuk (18, Kangwon) is heading to Tottenham, where Son Heung-min (32) is included.
Local reporters, professional media Sky Sports, and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who boast high public confidence, are rushing to report Yang Min-hyuk's imminent transfer to Tottenham on the 25th (Korea Standard Time).
Nizar Kinsella, a member of the BBC"Tottenham is close to recruiting Gangwon winger Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk said, "It is expected that the transfer will be completed before the match between Tottenham and Team K League at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st."
At this rate, the Coupang Play Series friendly between Tottenham and Team K League is likely to be Yang Min-hyuk's last game as a member of Gangwon. After joining Tottenham, he is likely to play on loan in Gangwon until December.
"Yang is expected to become the (third) Korean player to join Tottenham after Lee Young-pyo and Son Heung-min," the BBC said. Lee Young-pyo, former CEO of Gangwon Province, worked for Tottenham from 2005 to 2008.
Yang Min-hyuk's transfer fee is expected to be around 4 million euros (about 6 billion won). Earlier last month, Gangwon CEO Kim Byung-ji reported that Yang Min-hyuk is receiving attention from the Premier League club, offering €4 million as a transfer fee" he once said.
On the reason why Yang set his ransom at at least 4 million euros "Yang signed a five-year contract with Kangwon last month. 4 million euros is nothing considering the value that Yang Min-hyuk can create through his performance at the club for five years. From a manager's point of view, Yang Min-hyuk's influence on Gangwon this year is about 2 to 3 billion won. In terms of five years, it would be about 20 to 30 billion won.'

CEO Kim announced that he plans to reveal Yang Min-hyuk's future course through a live broadcast of the club from the 28th to the 29th. Prior to this, however, reports about Yang Min-hyuk's next destination are pouring in from the UK.
On the 25th, CEO Kim wrote on his personal SNS, `There will be more than 500 reporters in Korea who know this source. Facts are still ongoing. It's about 90-95%. There may be places that the club wants to spend, but the prerequisite should be where Minhyuk wants to be. Rojano, you've been snatched by me. If you knew you were going to do this...Please comment above as well. As always, the transfer history is not over until the end. Official, I'm looking forward to it too"It has not been confirmed that he will go to Tottenham."
Yang Min-hyuk, who was a semi-professional member of Gangneung Jeil High School, has exploded with seven goals and three assists in 24 K League games so far with an incredible performance that makes it hard to believe that he is in his first year as a high school professional. Yoon Jung-hwan, a former coach of Kangwon who was a 'genius midfielder', gave a thumbs-up, saying, `He is much better than me at the same age.' It is said that it has various advantages such as speed, penetration, linked play, and pressure that modern football wingers should have. The Gangwon club hurriedly signed a professional contract with Yang Min-hyuk last month.
What's surprising is that over the course of the season, growth has noticeably accelerated. In particular, with their extraordinary physical strength, even adult athletes endured a difficult summer campaign. Leading European scouts who watched Yang Min-hyuk's performance in Gangwon reportedly scored high on Yang Min-hyuk's offensive talent as well as his participation in defense and pressure. There is a reason why Tottenham, a world-class club, is still trying to recruit Yang Min-hyuk for a large amount of money.
Tottenham has come to search for Son Heung-min's successor who is already 32 years old. Yang Min-hyuk plays mainly as a right winger due to his recent team's circumstances, but his most preferred position is a left winger like Son Heung-min. If Yang Min-hyuk joins Tottenham, it is unclear how long he will work with Son Heung-min. Son's contract ends in June 2025. Yang Min-hyuk will make his debut to Tottenham fans through the match against Tottenham. After the home game against Jeonbuk on the 26th, there is a possibility that he will undergo a medical test in Seoul.
