Reported Tottenham signing breaks silence on transfer rumors
By Manuel Meza
With the summer transfer window winding down, Tottenham Hotspur seems to be eyeing the talented young Korean winger, Yang Min-hyuk. The 18-year-old from Gangwon FC dropped some hints about possibly joining Spurs after his team’s impressive 4-2 win over Jeonbuk.
During a post-match interview, Yang was asked about the rumors linking him to Tottenham. While he didn’t confirm the transfer outright, his comments suggested that there might be some truth to the speculation. Yang stated, “That’s not official yet, it’s speculation at the moment. It’s not a groundless story.”
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou was also questioned about Yang Min-hyuk but chose to sidestep the topic. Postecoglou acknowledged the quality of the K League and the success of Korean players in Europe, mentioning that Tottenham continues to scout players globally.
However, he refrained from discussing specific transfer targets, including Yang. This response has done little to quell the speculation, leaving fans and analysts alike eager for more concrete details.

Despite Postecoglou’s reluctance to confirm or deny the interest, credible sources such as Fabrizio Romano have reported that a long-term deal for Yang has already been agreed upon, with the young winger expected to join Tottenham in January 2025. This aligns with the club’s broader strategy to strengthen its squad with promising young talents who could make a significant impact in the future.
Yang’s current club CEO, Kim Byung-ji, is expected to provide official commentary on the potential transfer in the coming days. Until then, Tottenham supporters and football enthusiasts will have to wait for more concrete updates regarding Yang’s future.
To sum up, Yang Min-hyuk’s potential move to Tottenham Hotspur seems more likely, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet. The young winger's hints and reliable reports indicate that Spurs are gearing up to sign a promising talent who might play a significant role in their squad down the line.
