Why Yang Min-hyeok is sure to return to Tottenham

Yang Min-hyeok is included in the list of 8 promising players who have not played a single game for Tottenham Hotspur. The outlook for the future is bright.

British football media outlet 'Football London' introduced 8 players who have not played a single game for Tottenham yet. It is unknown whether they will succeed in the future or leave without playing in the first team, and summarized the current status of each player.

One of them is Yang Min-hyeok. Yang Min-hyeok debuted in K League 1 Gangwon FC as a 3rd year high school student last year and played an active role as a starter throughout the season. He won the K League 1 Young Player Award and helped Gangwon to 2nd place. Yang Min-hyeok, who received a lot of attention before the season ended, joined the team in December of last year after receiving an active love call from Tottenham. He is currently playing on loan at Queens Park Rangers (QPR) of the Championship (England's 2nd division) through the winter transfer market.

The media outlet introduced Yang Min-hyeok as, “Yang Min-hyeok is another teenage player from the Angie Postecoglou era. He was confirmed to be recruited from Gangwon last summer and joined in the winter after the K-League season ended. He was selected for the K-League 1 season’s best team, won the Young Player Award, and became the youngest player to score in K-League history.”

He continued, “Yang Min-hyeok will soon be loaned to QPR and recorded 1 assist in 8 games. With Tottenham expected to go on an Asian tour this summer, the talented teenage Yang Min-hyeok could be at the center of summer friendlies with captain Son Heung-min. He will have many opportunities to make an impression.”

In other words, considering the current situation where Tottenham is scheduled to go on an Asian tour this summer and Korea is considered a strong destination, Yang Min-hyeok is likely to be deployed in terms of marketing, and it would also be advantageous for him to make a good impression on a more familiar stage.

Along with Yang Min-hyeok, Ashley Phillips, who is on loan to Stoke City, Luka Buskovic, who is on loan to Westerlo, Mason Melia from St. Patrick's Athletic, George Finney, Rhys-Alexander Russell-Denny, Luca Pernell-Gill, and Dan Batty from the club's second team were mentioned.

Tottenham is also replacing existing first-team players with promising young players. The first-team wingers are also full of young players, including Willson Odober and Mikey Moore. Yang Min-hyeok cannot aim for first-team advancement by relying solely on his age. He needs to show his skills.

Yang Min-hyeok has been called up to the men's national soccer team and is aiming for his debut goal in an A match.
