Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk are finally wearing Tottenham uniforms.

Tottenham unveiled Yang Min-hyuk's new recruit for the first time on its official channel on the 21st (Korea time). Yang Min-hyuk's transfer to Tottenham was confirmed in July, but he left for England on the 16th at Tottenham's early request for joining after the 2024 season at Gangwon FC.

After arriving in England, Yang Min-hyuk seems to have completed everything on contract and visa-related issues and participated in Tottenham training in earnest. Yang Min-hyuk greeted Tottenham officials, including Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou, before training.

Ahead of the last Manchester United match, Postecoglou met Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk has been walking around inside the training ground for the past few days, adapting to his surroundings." However, since it is not yet the player registration period, Yang Min-hyuk cannot proceed with training with the first team.

Still, Postecoglou said "He won't train with us because we can't register Yang until Jan. 1. But I'm always in a good mood. I had this experience at Celtic with the Asian youngsters we brought in, the Japanese and Korean prospects. I brought them in before Christmas, so they can settle in this environment"I looked positively at Yang Min-hyuk's early joining.

Postecoglou continued "That way they were already established and fully trained by the time we registered them in a few weeks. It's nice to meet Yang Minhyuk. I'm taking English classes and it's really nice. I also had a little conversation with Yang Min-hyuk. I'm happy to be here with you." Afterwards, Yang Min-hyuk also watched the Tottenham and Manchester United match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The photo on the 21st was the first time Yang Min-hyuk's joining was officially introduced to Tottenham fans. Tottenham says "Welcome to Tottenham, Yang Min-hyuk! Our new signing was at Tottenham training ground this week ahead of joining on 1 JanuaryHe revealed Yang Min-hyuk's recovery training at the training ground.

Yang Min-hyuk's expression looked somewhat tired, but there was also a picture of him greeting Tottenham fans with a smile. Tottenham fans and Korean fans have been waiting for the most 'two shot' also appeared. Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk are shown side by side.

When Yang Min-hyuk was checking his body while jumping, Son Heung-min was looking lovingly at Yang Min-hyuk in the back. Son Heung-min is expected to be a real help to Yang Min-hyuk's adaptation to Tottenham. It was a scene showing how much Son Heung-min already loves Yang Min-hyuk.

In an interview with YouTube 'Hayters TV' on the 21st, Son Heung-min said he would do everything he could to help Yang Min-hyuk adapt to Tottenham. Son Heung-min said, "I'm going to do everything I can," he said from the beginning.

Son Heung-min said, `I can't help you like I'm a father, so there will be situations where Yang Min-hyuk has to go through on his own. But on and off the field, I'll try to help Minhyuk Yang"We will support Yang Min-hyuk's growth in both ways."

Son Heung-min said, `I hope Yang Min-hyuk can bring great soccer and talent to the club. So I want to see him play with us`I was hoping for Yang Min-hyuk's development and success more than anyone else.

However, Son Heung-min wanted the fans to wait and have more affection for Yang Min-hyuk. He said, `I don't want to put too much pressure on Yang Min-hyuk because he's 18 now These days, people seem to get too excited about a young player too early. I want to make him comfortable", he also expressed concern.

Son Heung-min continues to say, `Yang Min-hyuk is working hard, and I hope he continues to work hard. Then Yang Min-hyuk will help the team as an important player. Yang Min-hyuk is fast and scored many goals in the K-League, but there is a huge difference between the K-League and the English Premier League (EPL)"I asked my fans to be patient.

Son Heung-min also delivered this message to fans shortly after Yang Min-hyuk joined Tottenham. Even in an interview with The Standard in England "I don't want people to get too excited. You shouldn't put pressure on Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk is about the same age as Mikey Moore. Everyone loves Moore and I hope everyone loves him like Moore when Yang Min-hyuk is here," he told his fans.

Son Heung-min seems to have thrown this message to his fans because he knows better than anyone else that succeeding in the EPL is too difficult and not easy. Son Heung-min once gave a realistic warning that it would never be an easy challenge for Yang Min-hyuk.

"Playing in the EPL is not easy at all. In order to grow into the best player in the world, everything must be perfectly prepared, including language, culture, physical conditions, personality, and living alone away from family`"You may feel that you are doing well in the K-League, but EPL is a place where young players want to take their chances every day. Those players will try to take the lead on each otherHe also advised that it is not easy to succeed even if you have all the elements of success.

Still, for Yang Min-hyuk, it will be a great boost to have a player named Son Heung-min next to him in such a fierce competition and difficult place to succeed. One of the biggest reasons why Yang Min-hyuk decided to go to Tottenham was Son Heung-min.
