Postecoglou: “I tried to recruit two Korean players while I was Celtic manager”

Gangwon Yang Min-hyeok

Anzhi Postecoglou, the manager of Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League (EPL), avoided commenting on whether Yang Min-hyeok (Gangwon)’s transfer would be confirmed, but expressed interest in the K-League, saying, “I know it well.”

Coach Postecoglou was asked about the rumors of the acquisition of Yang Min-hyeok (Gangwon) at a press conference held on the 26th, a day before the pre-season friendly match between Tottenham and Vissel Kobe (Japan) to be held at the Tokyo National Stadium on the 27th, and answered, “I am well aware of the level of the K-League.”

Yang Min-hyeok, born in 2006, made his semi-pro debut for Gangwon this season and caught the eyes of soccer fans with his bold breakthroughs and creative passes. He broke all the club’s records, including youngest player, score, and assist, and even signed an official pro contract last month.

As reports continue that Yang Min-hyeok, who has recorded 8 goals and 4 assists in 25 K-League games this season, is finalizing transfer negotiations with Tottenham, his entry into the EPL is becoming a foregone conclusion.

Coach Postecoglou was cautious about whether Yang Min-hyeok’s transfer was confirmed and the progress, saying, “It is difficult to comment.”

However, he left room for improvement, saying, “We are looking broadly to bring in good players.”

It was also reported that he attempted to recruit Korean players during his tenure as manager of Celtic (Scotland) from 2021 to 2023.

Coach Postecoglou once again expressed his interest in Korea, saying, “I wanted to bring in two Korean players. They have performed well in Europe.”

However, coach Postecoglou acknowledged the presence of the ‘captain’ once again, saying, “(Their performance) is not as good as our Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min is a particularly outstanding player.”

Tottenham will play a friendly match against Vissel Kobe on the afternoon of the 27th and will enter Korea through Incheon International Airport on the 28th.

Yang Min-hyeok, who came in first place in the ‘Couple Young Plus’ fan vote and became a member of Team K-League as the most popular ‘rising star’, will hold a showcase against Tottenham, which could become his new team, at 8 PM on the 31st at Seoul World Cup Stadium. 카지노사이트
