“Yang Min-hyuk, Son Heung-min look alike! Bi-footed+Multi”

“Yang Min-hyuk is two-footed like Son Heung-min and can play both left and right”

“A South Korean soccer expert has revealed exactly what to expect from Tottenham as they move closer to signing explosive teenage winger Yang Min-hyuk,” the British outlet Team Talk reported on March 25 (KST).

Born in 2006, the young Gangwon FC winger is currently closing in on a move to Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur. He’s just 18 years old, but he’s already considered one of the league’s top talents, having scored seven goals and provided three assists in 24 appearances this season in the K League 1, where the best players in Korea compete.

Starting in April, Yang was named the K League 1 Young Player of the Month for three consecutive months and was named to the Best 11 four times. Thanks to his play, Gangwon, who were in contention to stay up last season, have been on the rise this season, finishing fourth in the league.

Gangwon Kangwon coach Yoon Jeong-hwan, a former “genius midfielder” who is coaching Yang Min-hyuk, said, “He is better than I was when I was 18 years old. Recognizing Yang Min-hyuk’s potential and ability, Kangwon signed him to a professional contract on the 17th of last month from his semi-professional status.

Just 10 days after Yang Min-hyuk signed his professional contract with Gangwon, transfer speculation began. It wasn”t even a domestic team, but the Premier League, the best league in the world.

On May 25, the BBC reported that Tottenham Hotspur is close to signing Gangwon FC’s 2006-born winger Yang Min-hyuk.

The report said, “Tottenham are close to signing Gangwon FC winger Yang Min-hyuk. The player is expected to finalize his move to Tottenham on July 31 when the two teams meet at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.” ‘Yang has scored seven goals in 24 games for Gangwon and became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the K League since 2013 when he scored his first goal in March,’ the report explained.

One of the Premier League powerhouses, Tottenham is one of the most recognizable clubs to South Korean soccer fans. Their ace is Son Heung-min, one of the biggest soccer stars in Asia right now and the captain of the South Korean national soccer team.

Son joined Tottenham from Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga in 2015 and has been a club regular for the past nine years, scoring 162 goals and providing 84 assists in 408 games, making him a club legend. At Spurs, he was the Premier League’s top scorer and was named club captain last summer.

Spurs, who have also had South Korean legendary left-back Lee Young-pyo in the past, are now close to adding a third Korean leaguer to their squad with the signing of Yang Min-hyuk.

However, it is unlikely that Yang will leave Tottenham this summer. European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano wrote on social media that “Tottenham scouts see him as a huge talent with significant potential for the future. He has now 파워볼실시간 signed a contract with Tottenham, scheduled a medical and will remain at Gangwon FC until the January transfer window.”

Alasdair Gold, a reporter for England’s Football London, who is familiar with Tottenham news, said, “Tottenham are close to signing 18-year-old winger Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon FC.” Yang’s move to Tottenham is imminent. “He is expected to join the club in January to complete the K League season,” the report said.

Meanwhile, as Yang’s move to Tottenham became imminent, TeamTalk published an interview with Joel Kim, a Korean soccer analyst.

“If I had to describe him in two words, it would be power and pace,” Joel Kim told TBR Football, according to the media outlet, adding that his adaptability makes him a versatile asset to Spurs’ attacking game.

“At just 18 years old, he plays with youthful vigor and adds incredible pace to the attack,” he said. ”His incredible physicality helps him take on veteran defenders in Asia’s most physical league, the K League 1.”

“Yang’s biggest asset may be his adaptability. Like Son Heung-min, he can use both feet and play on both the left and right,” adding, ”Compared to Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United) and Federico Chiesa (Juventus), his potential stands out.”

“He loves to move forward with the ball, whether it’s along the flanks or through the center, and he overwhelms defenders with his pace,” he said, adding, ”Defensively, he is underrated, often intercepting passes and reading moves before the play develops.”

In addition to Yang’s strengths, the expert also pointed out his weaknesses that he needs to overcome. “His weaknesses include occasional sloppiness and loss of possession, which is common among pacey wingers,” the expert explained.

“Recently, he struggled to find space when he was tightly marked by several defenders and couldn’t even touch the ball,” he said, adding, ”He needs to step up and make his presence felt in those moments.”

Finally, the expert spoke about what role Yang could play for Tottenham under Anzhi Postecoglou and what effect he could have.

“His style of play suits Tottenham’s attacking style of soccer. He can bring width to the attack, either by taking on defenders one-on-one or by cutting in on either side to deliver crosses into the box,” the expert said. ”His intense energy and versatility, including the potential to play as a No. 9, makes him stand out from the crowd of Spurs wingers.”
