Lease' is not necessarily a bad thing. Rather, it is an opportunity to grow bigger.

Local reports said Tottenham Hotspur and coach Enze Postecoglou could send Yang Min-hyuk (19), who was recruited last year, on loan.

It is an angry news for a Korean fan who has been eagerly waiting for Yang Min-hyuk's debut in the English Premier League (EPL). This is because Tottenham may seem to take Yang Min-hyuk and send him somewhere else without even using it properly. It also seems to be treated like a completely cold meal by Tottenham.




But it also needs to be viewed from a different perspective. Tottenham may not just leave Yang Min-hyuk unattended, but choose to rent to give him a chance to play somehow. The club is moving because there is a plan. At least it's a better situation than no action.

Yang Min-hyuk's loan rumor was reported by Football London, a British media outlet familiar with Tottenham's news. The media reported on the 27th (Korea time) 'Yang Min-hyuk is not seen as Tottenham's option right now. This means that the club's recruitment policy is an investment concept for the future rather than the present. If Tottenham recruit a new striker and Yang Min-hyuk also shows up with an appropriate club to develop, he could be loaned out in the January transfer market,' he said.

The same goes for Will Rankshire and others. They are not ready to play in the first team. Tottenham fans insist on Postecoglou writing more prospects but fail to reach EPL level except Mikey Moore," he added.




It is a very simple and clear message. There is not a shred of room for misunderstanding. Tottenham is not particularly treating Yang Min-hyuk.

It was evaluated with the same standard as other top 10 promising players in accordance with the club's standards, and it is only to operate the development plan according to the results. Unfortunately, Yang Min-hyuk did not meet the criteria for playing in the first team at this point, and Tottenham and Postecoglou have no intention of special treatment for Yang Min-hyuk.

Yang Min-hyuk joined Tottenham early in mid-December. Originally, he was expected to join in January, but the Tottenham club unusually asked Yang Min-hyuk to join earlier. Some predicted that Yang Min-hyuk would make his EPL debut early at Tottenham based on this.




However, this was purely Tottenham's decision to quickly grasp Yang Min-hyuk's condition and take corresponding action. Tottenham has top 10 prospects besides Yang Min-hyuk. It has consistently attracted talented players in their late teens and early 20s since many years ago.

Therefore, it is necessary to systematically manage overflowing prospects. It is necessary to clearly evaluate the current level of ability and determine the timing of future game input based on this.

However, Yang Min-hyuk was not well-received locally, contrary to the expectations of Korean fans. This is a fact that has been clearly revealed since the beginning of joining the team. Earlier this month, Postecoglou said of Yang Min-hyuk, `There are no special plans at the moment. Yang Min-hyuk is still very young, from the other side of the world. The level of competition there (Korea) cannot be compared to the level you will face here (England). So I'm giving him time to adjust", he explained.

"The fact that Son Heung-min is here is very helpful (for Yang Min-hyuk). He is helping Yang Min-hyuk both inside and outside the club. We're helping them settle down quickly, giving them a chance to adapt." It contains all the answers. Tottenham's club finally evaluated Yang Min-hyuk as a `young prospect who still needs to grow and adapt.'

It is an objective evaluation. There is no intention to undermine Yang Min-hyuk. In the name of Son Heung-min, he promised to help him adapt to the team and settle down in the local community. He judged that adaptation and growth were more necessary than playing in the game.

Since then, the replacement list has been entered, but he has not been able to play. Sitting on the bench needs to be seen as an opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the game directly on the bench rather than actually trying to put it into the game.

The rental theory that came out at this point is not just a bad story for Yang Min-hyuk. At Tottenham now, there is no chance to play except for the youth team. It's been more than a month since I joined the team, but the fact that I can't come out yet means that I don't have a chance to play at least this season.

However, in the new environment, the story can be different. Teams that receive loan players often need manpower to use immediately. Almost all of them have early chances to play. This can speed up the time to make his debut in action. If you accumulate your actual experience and go back to Tottenham, you are more likely to get more chances to play.

Son Heung-min also said of the reality that Yang Min-hyuk will meet on the EPL stage "I want to tell Yang Min-hyuk that the EPL stage will be difficult. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm trying to tell a realistic story that can help. In the K-League, you may have felt that you are doing well, but here, a lot of young players from all over the world rush to take their chances every day."

This means that it is impossible for Yang Min-hyuk to walk 'Flower Road' from the beginning, and he must grow steadily from the bottom. Yang Min-hyuk said, "This is not the time to cover cold rice or hot rice. Renting should also be taken as an opportunity.
