Football Insider, a soccer media outlet, reported on the 6th (Korea time) that midfielder Han Wilhoft-King (18) of Tottenham Youth is about to move to Manchester City, the defending champion of the English Premier League (EPL). It is said that the medical test has already been completed and only the presentation is left.
Wilhoft-King had already taken to his personal social media account on April 6th saying, "After 10 years at Spurs, I decided to move on to the next stage of my journey. First of all, I want to thank all the coaches, physiotherapists and all the other staff who helped and supported me while I was here. Without your help, I would not have developed into the player I am now. Finally, it's been fun to grow and play with my teammates over the last few years, and I hope you continue to do your best," he wrote, alluding to the breakup.
He is considered one of the best prospects for Tottenham Youth. He joined Tottenham Youth at the age of six and grew steadily through youth teams of all ages. Last season, he scored four goals in 35 games for the U-18 team. In May, he scored a theatrical winner against Arsenal in the `mini north London derby' game. Expectations were high that he would be responsible for Tottenham's midfield in the future.

Wilhoft-King drew attention once among Tottenham fans in Korea for his appearance resembling a Korean and his direct junior to Son Heung-min. Wilhoft - King was born to an Indian - English father and a Chinese - American mother. As a result, he is said to be able to play for six national teams, including China, the U.K., Germany, the U.S., Indonesia, and India. Wilhoft-King, who played for England's Under-16 team in 2021, almost won the Indonesian national team ahead of the 2023 U-17 World Cup, but suffered a breakthrough in which his call-up was canceled because the naturalization process took a long time because his parents did not have an Indonesian passport.
Wilhoft-King is expected to stay in Manchester City's youth team for the time being and get a glimpse of his chance to enter the first team.
