Yang Min-hyuk to Tottenham
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou refused to discuss Yang Min-hyuk directly when he was asked about rumours linking the Korean winger to Spurs.
He told Football.London: “Yeah, again I’m well aware of the quality of the K League. When I was at Celtic we were looking to bring over at least a couple of Korean players at the time and I think they’ve brought a couple over.
“Again they’ve made a fantastic impact in Europe, a lot of Korean players, none bigger and none better than our own Sonny. We’ll be looking far and wide for players and as you rightly said, it is difficult for me to discuss.”
Despite Postecoglou’s reluctance to confirm Tottenham’s interest, a long-term deal for the 18-year-old is believed to be agreed, with Yang expected to join Spurs from January 2025 (FabrizioRomano).

SpursWeb opinion
Yang Min-hyuk looks certain to join Spurs. It is no surprise he has not confirmed if he is on the move, because he will want to be respectful to his current club.
But unless something goes wrong, Yang is going to be a Tottenham player next season.
