Report: Unnamed PL club in talks to sign South Korean starlet – Rumours it could be Spurs

The Mirror report that an unnamed Premier League club is in talks to sign an 18-year-old South Korean starlet, Yang Min-hyeok, from Gangwon FC (11:15 – 22/07/24).

Tottenham are heading to South Korea

Tottenham Hotspur landed for their pre-season tour of Asia this afternoon, with Heung-min Son’s native South Korea on their list of destinations for the next couple of weeks.

Spurs are scheduled to play Bayern Munich in Seoul on August 3, as well as a K-League All-Star team a few days before that. But Tottenham could be doing a little scouting too.

Rumours are that a Premier League club is currently in talks with Gangwon FC over the potential transfer of their highly-rated young winger, Yang Min-hyeok.

Tottenham could be the secret Premier League club

The Mirror report that Tottenham are ‘being mooted’ as Yang Min-hyeok’s next destination, but Southampton have also been linked with the 18-year-old.

Yang Min-hyeok only signed his first professional contract last month and will actually play Tottenham in the K-League XI on July 31.

Any deal will likely include Yang Min-hyeok being loaned back to Gangwon FC for another season, and the club have announced that CEO Kim Byung-ji will reveal details of the deal on a YouTube livestream on July 28 or 29.

Spurs Web Opinion:

It would make perfect sense for the mystery club to be Tottenham. We are literally playing against the starlet next week and we have that magic Heung-min Son factor too.

I love that Spurs are investing so much time, effort and money in youth under this new rebuild and we should be in for some exciting days when the youngsters in question start to come through.
