According to journalist Joel Kim, Yang Min-hyuk has won the K League Player of the Month award for July, becoming the first player to do so in his first season in the division.
Yang is seen by many as being a potential future superstar of Korean football, with the winger winning many admirers since breaking into Gangwon FC’s first-team at the start of the 2024 season.
The 18-year-old is continuing to go from strength to strength, having found the back of the net eight times and registered five assists in 25 league games so far (Transfermarkt).
Tottenham saw enough to secure his services last month, subsequently loaning the player back to Gangwon, where he will stay until January.
Spurs fans would have seen glimpses of the teenager’s quality when he came up against the Lilywhites in the pre-season friendly that Ange Postecoglou’s men played against K-League All-Stars earlier this summer.
Yang is continuing to impress in the Korean top-flight, now winning the Player of the Month award for July to go with his Young Player of the Month award.
Spurs Web Opinion
Yang is extremely talented but I do wonder if Tottenham will decide to loan him out to a different European league in January so that he can get some experience under his belt, especially given the options that Postecoglou now has in the wide areas.
Being behind Son, Johnson, Kulusevski, Werner, Odobert, Moore and co in the pecking order would be tough for the youngster.
