Tottenham Hotspur fans may be drooling at the prospect of seeing their latest signing, Yang Min-hyuk, showing what he can do in a Spurs kit, but they will get to see him play very soon.
The Lilywhites continue their pre-season tour of Asia on Wednesday afternoon with a friendly against the best players in the Korean League. One notable inclusion in the K-League XI is Yang Min-hyuk, who currently plays for Gangwon FC.
Now, thanks to Joel Kim, we know Yang will be starting the game against his new club. Kim tweeted: “Yang Min-hyuk gets the start against Spurs. Coach Park Tae-ha announced that Yang Min-hyuk will start against the Spurs tomorrow.”
Spurs will take on the K-League all-stars team at the Seoul World Cup stadium as they look to continue their unbeaten run in pre-season that has seen them beat Cambridge United, Hearts, QPR, and most recently, Japanese side, Vissel Kobe.
It remains to be seen just how long Yang stays on the field, but given he is in great form right now — he scored for Gangwon just last week — there is a good chance he will cause Tottenham some real problems in the friendly.
Yang Min-hyuk is highly rated in his homeland, and that is reflected in the fact Spurs paid a record fee for a Korean player moving directly from the K-League to the Premier League, as per Gangwon’s official statement on the move.
The 18-year-old will join Spurs officially in January, once the K-League season is over. He signed a contract running through to 2030.
Spurs Web Opinion
I can’t wait to see Yang up against the Tottenham players, and if he plays on the right wing in particular, I think he could get some luck attacking Ben Davies and/or Emerson Royal if the latter comes on at any stage.
