Yang Min-hyuk, who will wear his Tottenham uniform in January next year, left the country on the 16th and entered London, England on the 17th. Expectations are high. Tottenham is an injury ward. In the attack, Hishalisson and Wilson O'Dober are injured. 17-year-old Mikey Moore is also suffering from the disease. This is why Tottenham requested Yang Min-hyuk to join early.
The day is not far away when Son Heung-min (32) will be on the ground together. Son Heung-min led Tottenham to a 5-0 victory with a one-man show with one goal and two assists in the 16th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England on the 16th.
Son Heung-min's presence is a perfect match for Yang Min-hyuk. In an interview at the departure hall of Incheon International Airport, Yang Min-hyuk said, `I haven't seen a lot yet, and I think there are still some difficult parts to call him a big brother. I want to call him an older brother after talking to him and getting closer"Now we're going to Tottenham where Heung-min is." I'll learn a lot and work harder. I hope you take good care of me" reported the wind.

The British media is also interested. The 'Evening Standard' reported on the 17th that Son Heung-min is ready to welcome a rising star in Korean soccer after evaluating Tottenham's recruitment. And while Son Heung-min is excited about Yang Min-hyuk's potential, fans asked him to ease his expectations. It is because Yang Min-hyuk is expected to need time to adapt to the English stage and the league.'
Son Heung-min hopes people don't get too excited by the 'Evening Standard'. You shouldn't put too much pressure on him." "He's about the same age as Mike Moore. Just like everyone loves Mikey, I hope everyone loves him like Mikey when Yang Minhyuk is here. He was fantastic in his first season in the K League and scored 12 goals and a lot of help. Smart, not to be afraid..." raised expectations.

Yang Min-hyuk is the best hit product produced by Korean soccer this year. He made his K-League debut as a semi-professional member of Gangwon FC, and soon turned professional and flew. He started all games from the opening game and broke all the club's youngest records, including participation, scoring and attacking points. With 12 goals and 6 assists, he has grown beyond rookies to become a leading striker in the league. Yang Min-hyuk, a five-time K-League Young Player of the Month award, was honored with Young Player of the Year and Best 11 at the K-League awards ceremony.
Europe was paying attention to the supernova's remarkable performance early on. Big leagues and big clubs sent love calls to Yang Min-hyuk, and the winner was Tottenham. Tottenham held Yang Min-hyuk in their arms by shooting the highest transfer fee (4 million euros estimated, about 6 billion won) to Europe directly in the K-League.
Tottenham's request for early joining is a positive signal for Yang Min-hyuk. Tottenham regard Yang Min-hyuk as the present, not the future. This means that early joining will be used as a resource for the first team immediately. In fact, an official from the transfer market also said "Even at the time of negotiations, Tottenham had expressed several intentions to put Yang Min-hyuk in the first team immediately."

Son Heung-min said of Yang Min-hyuk last summer, `That's great. Doing a fantastic job in the first season of the K League. I saw him for the first time yesterday, and he was very shy. Yang Min-hyuk is very young and has not finished high school yet. How great is that. I feel like I'm getting old."
And "I told Yang Min-hyuk to study English hard. Because we have enough time. What a talent. I'm looking forward to seeing him in Tottenham's uniform," he stressed.
Manager Enze Postecoglou said, `I'm glad that Yang Min-hyuk became a part of the club. I found him in the scouting department. He's a talented young player, and I'm looking forward to the future as well as the present."
Yang Min-hyuk also "It's an honor to join such a big club. I'll do my best to show you. I don't think I'm that young. I'm chasing my dream"It's a big challenge. I believe I can show and prove my talent. Joining a big club like Tottenham means the club recognizes my ability. I believe that if you do your best and work hard, you will improve a lot."
