Tottenham have one characteristic move in the transfer window this summer. It is actively pursuing the recruitment of players who are considered top prospects in their late teens. Archie Gray (18), who is considered England's best talent, has already been recruited as a tangible result. He also signed Lucas Beribal (18) in the transfer market last winter. Beribal has joined Tottenham in earnest since this summer and has been showing off his talent in pre-season games. He is also seeking to recruit Desiree Due (19).

As such, Tottenham is solidly laying the foundation for the future by recruiting a large number of talented teenage players. As part of this strategy, he seems to be aiming to recruit Yang Min-hyuk. Citing the Mirror's report, the media said the unnamed EPL club is in talks to sign Yang Min-hyuk, a teenage player of Gangwon FC, adding that the club is presumed to be Tottenham, and Southampton is also watching Yang Min-hyuk.

Yang Min-hyuk is considered the best talent produced by Gangwon FC. He entered the professional stage through a semi-professional contract as a high school student newspaper, and has 7 goals and 3 assists in 24 K League games this season. Yang Min-hyuk was also selected as the top 11 in the K-League, which will play a preseason friendly against Tottenham on July 30. If Yang Min-hyuk performs well in this friendly match, his contract with Tottenham is likely to accelerate further.
