[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Tottenham will meet the underdog in the first round of the FA Cup. Therefore, whether Yang Min-hyuk will play or not has emerged as an interest.

The English Football Association (FA) held a draw ceremony for the third round (the round of 64) of the FA Cup at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the afternoon of the 2nd (local time). From the third round, 20 Premier League teams and 24 Championship (second division) teams will participate. There will be a real sword match.

As a result of the draw, Tottenham face fifth-tier side Tamworth.



Founded in 1933, Tamworth is based in Tamworth, Staffordshire, central England. Since its inception, it has only participated in the lower leagues. In the 2022-2023 season, he won the Southern League Premier Division Central, the seventh division, and moved up to the sixth division, the National League North. He then won the sixth division of the 2023-2024 season and was promoted to the fifth division. It is currently ranked 16th in the fifth division. It remains at the bottom of the 64 teams that advanced to the third round of the FA Cup. In the second round of the FA Cup, he beat Burton Albion in the third division after a close shootout.

For Tottenham, Tamworth must be a fairly easy opponent. The games will also be played on the weekend of January 11, 2025. It will be played at the Durham Ground, the home of Tamworth.



For now, it is very likely that young players or sub-members, not Tottenham's main members, will play. As a result, Yang Min-hyuk is also expected to play. Yang Min-hyuk had his best season in Gangwon this season. It signed a semi-professional contract with Gangwon in December 2023. He started his career in the 2024 season. It signed a professional contract with Gangwon in June. He became the first high school student professional in K League 1 history. He played in 38 games for Gangwon in 2024, scoring 12 goals and 6 assists. He won the K League 1 Young Player Award in 2024.

Yang Min-hyuk joins Tottenham on Dec. 16. The original contract will start in January 2025. But Tottenham's winger resources are on the line at the moment. Yang Min-hyuk will come to London, England in advance, and spend time adjusting to the English stage while conducting individual training. You can participate at the same time as registration on January 1. For Yang Min-hyuk, the game against Tamworth could be a good debut stage.
