'Shinsung' has appeared to make both Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk nervous.
The main character is 17-year-old Tottenham winger Mikey Moore. Tottenham won 1-0 in the third round of the Europa League phase in 2024-2025 against Alkmaar of the Netherlands at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 25th (Korea time). Tottenham have ruled out a number of key players in preparation for the weekend's match against Crystal Palace. Instead, all the young resources were dispatched. Tottenham won a valuable victory in the 7th minute of the second half when Hishalisson scored a penalty kick won by Lucas Beribal. Tottenham defeated Alkmaar following Karabakh and Ferencvaros, winning three consecutive Europa League titles. Tottenham are in second place behind Lazio.
The player who received the most attention on the day was Moore. Moore made a three-top with Timo Werner-Hichalisson on the day. He started on the right wing. With Werner playing the worst, Moore had a chance. Moore has frustrated home fans by continuing to miss the Big Chance. In the end, Werner was replaced by Brennan Johnson. With Johnson on the right, Moore sewed through the familiar left-hand autonomy.
Moore looked like a fish in the water. It drew attention with a spectacular dribbling show. He shook the Alkmaar defense with a bold breakthrough. Unfortunately, he failed to post an offensive point, but he performed the most outstanding performance of the day. Moore made three shots, one effective shot, one key pass and one dribble on the day. Although the rating itself was not high, it was a huge performance given his age.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, James Medicine said "From the start of the second half to the 20th minute I thought Neymar was on the left wing. demand the ball and have no fear"He is young, but he has a good mentality. show one's ability," he said with a thumbs up. Coach Enze Postecoglou also praised Moore. Postecoglou said "Moore is a very mature young boy. I really like every step of Moore. I want to train hard and improve every day"It's growing well. There is no fear of putting him in"It was well received.
Moore was named the MVP of the match against Alkmaar by Tottenham fans after the match. Tottenham said on its website on the 25th that `Moore has already been named the MVP of the game for the second time this season, especially by changing his preferred left side in the second half.' Moore was also named MVP in the second Europa League match against Hungary's Ferencvaros on the 4th. Moore, who caught the attention of fans with his first career first-team selection, has won the MVP until this game and is clearly impressing himself as Tottenham's next-generation divinity.

Moore is a prospect Tottenham is paying attention to. As a former Tottenham youth, he received attention by continuing his monthly career. In the 2022-2023 season, he made his U-21 debut as the youngest player in Tottenham's history at the age of 15. Last season, they bombed the U-18 League. Eventually, it was called up in January 2024 as a first-team training. He made his debut in the English Premier League as a substitute at the end of the second half against Manchester City in May. He then stepped on the ground at the end of the second half in the final match against Sheffield United.
He is expanding his position this season. Moore, who announced his potential by scoring in the pre-season, signed a professional contract with Tottenham in August. Tottenham manager Postecoglou also gave a thumbs up. He said "Moore was absolutely fantastic. The reason for his good performance in Tottenham's first team was that he was managing himself really well in training. This continued in the pre-season"We need to help Moore continue to improve. It's really impressive that you're a teenager now."
Moore, who received an opportunity in the league match against Brentford on the 21st of last month, is continuously being used in the Europa League. Moore, who has a bold dribble and accurate kick with solid basic skills, is said to have all the virtues a winger must have. Real Madrid, Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, and AC Milan have paid attention to Moore.

In particular, he once mentioned Son Heung-min as an idol. In the U-17 Premier League final, Son Heung-min's signature click ceremony was held after scoring. Son Heung-min also praised Moore's talent, saying, "When I was a young Hamburg player, Ruud van Nistelrooy was my mentor"Now I want to be Moore's mentor."
Moore's rapid growth is enough to stimulate Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk. Son has been suffering from frequent injuries recently. Son Heung-min missed the match against Alkmaar and is also likely to miss the match against Crystal Palace. Son Heung-min missed three matches after being injured in the Europa League against Karabakh last month. He came back splendidly against West Ham with his best performance, but emerged again. Son Heung-min "Sadly, he is 32 years old. I know that every game is a showdown that I really want to take seriously. "I know that the game will not come back. So I'm playing all the games seriously. I want to treat it like it's my last game of my career" he said. It was a concern about his physical condition.
The issue of re-signing has also continued throughout this season. Tottenham is likely to implement a one-year extension option, but there is also a possibility that they will leave the team at the end of this season. Saudi Arabia, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid are watching Son Heung-min's situation. Son Heung-min has delivered several interviews hoping to stay at Tottenham, but Tottenham has yet to respond. With reports of Son Heung-min going downhill through various media outlets, Tottenham is likely to raise Moore in a surprise move. From Son Heung-min's point of view, he may compete with Moore for the starting lineup.
From Yang Min-hyuk's point of view, he can be a tricky competitor. Yang Min-hyuk signed a contract with Tottenham. Kim Byung-ji, a YouTuber and CEO of Gangwon-do who runs a soccer YouTube kkongbyeongji, appeared on Gangwon-do's official YouTube on July 28 to announce Yang Min-hyuk's destination and also delivered a behind-the-scenes story. Gangwon Province Governor Kim Jin-tae, the owner of the Gangwon team, said "Long negotiations have finally been concluded. I'll make an official announcement. Yang Min-hyuk's transfer club is Tottenham Hotspur. Please continue to show a lot of interest and support" he announced. At the same time, Tottenham's club also posted an official on its official channel. The contract period is until 2030.

Yang Min-hyuk, who made his debut in Gangwon this season and bombed the K-League, received the attention of many European clubs and decided to wear a Tottenham uniform. Yang Min-hyuk plans to play in Gangwon for the rest of the season according to the agreement between the two clubs and then join Tottenham in January next year. Yang Min-hyuk, who appeared on the club's YouTube broadcast himself, said "I think it's an honor. I'll finish the rest of the season well and do my best"I couldn't believe it because such a team (Tottenham) made an offer. I was glad that negotiations had begun." Yang Min-hyuk was selected as Son's successor. Yang Min-hyuk said, `I didn't contact Son Heung-min separately, but I met Son Heung-min on my way to the last medical test today. I told him that he's doing really well right now. I told him to study English a lot."
Although it is difficult to play right away, Yang Min-hyuk needs to impress the coach and fans. The stage itself that can participate is limited, and in this situation, Moore is likely to receive the opportunity first. He is even a year younger than Yang Min-hyuk.
