Ange Postecoglou reveals who spotted Yang Min-hyuk as Spurs transfer target

Tottenham Hotspur secured the services of another promising young talent last week.

Ange Postecoglou speaks about his latest signing

The North Londoners confirmed the arrival of winger Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon FC on Sunday, following in the footsteps of recent teenage talent Lucas Bergvall and Archie Gray.

The 18-year-old agreed to a six-year contract with Ange Postecoglou‘s side and will join the club in January 2025.

The teenager has started all 25 of Gangwon’s league games so far this season, producing eight goals and four assists.

Yang scored his first goal for Gangwon in March, with the teenager becoming the youngest scorer in the division since 2013.

Tottenham signed Yang Min-hyuk on Sunday

Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou was asked about his latest signing in a press conference in Seoul today ahead of tomorrow’s Coupang Play Series opener against Team K League.

Yang is part of the Team K League squad which previously also included former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard, until he had to withdraw through injury.

Postecoglou gave credit to the club’s scouting department for identifying Yang as a transfer target, with the Australian believing the South Korean is an exciting player to have within the Tottenham ranks.

He told Football.London: “We’re delighted to have him as part of the club. He’s someone who was identified by our scouting department.

“We’re always looking to the future as well as the present. He’s a very exciting player.”
