MINHYUK, I think I came to the wrong place Tottenham's mad prospect collector signed another professional contract with 18-year-old Sunggol Youth. It's the same as Yang Minhyuk's position

There are a lot of teenage prospects. This kind of competition was unexpected. Tottenham Hotspur were not 'land of opportunity'.

Yang Min-hyuk (19, QPR)'s entry into Tottenham's first team has another negative factor. Chairman Daniel Levy, who has been sweeping teenage prospects for many years, has signed a professional contract with a teenage prospect again.

Tottenham announced on its website on the 28th (Korea time) that it signed a professional contract with Ronnie Moncker (18). Monker is a prospect who has already had a 10-year relationship with Tottenham. Born in 2007, he joined the Tottenham Youth Academy at the age of eight.

Monker started playing soccer at Tottenham Youth thanks to his family's connection. The Tottenham club said that John Monker, Monker's uncle, played for the club from the late 1980s to the early 1990s. Monker's grandfather also worked in the youth development department as the club's chief scout for more than 25 years'

In the end, Monker is literally from the 'Tottenham Sunggol of Sunggol', which has been deeply connected with Tottenham since his grandfather's generation. No wonder he started playing soccer at Tottenham Youth.

Monker, who has grown steadily in Tottenham Youth, was promoted to the U-21 team in January and made his debut. Since then, he has scored two goals in 17 games, showing his potential, and eventually even signed a professional contract. Position is a flanker.

He is in the same position as Yang Min-hyuk, who joined Tottenham in January and failed to enter the first division and is currently on loan with the English Championship (second division) Queens Park Rangers (QPR).

Tottenham is currently full of prospects in their late teens and early 20s. This means that the main competition is fierce. On top of that, it is by no means good news for Yang Min-hyuk, who joined Tottenham "Sunggol of Sunggol" and is currently on loan at Queens Park Rangers after failing to enter the first team. Even if you're a year younger, you're just another competitor.

Yang Min-hyuk has not really stood out in QPR either. He has only scored one goal in eight games since joining the team. If this trend continues, Tottenham's chances of entering the first team are small next season. It's likely to be re-rented by QPR or re-rented to another team.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to have an extended lease. This is because it means that there will be more opportunities to play. Harry Kane also spent three years on loan at the beginning of his joining Tottenham. The important thing is to gain experience in the game and increase competitiveness through rental life. After that, all you have to do is return to the original team and establish yourself as the main player in the first team.

Yang Min-hyuk is also hoping for this process. But we can't just be optimistic. Tottenham's club continues to be eager to collect top 10 prospects like Yang Min-hyuk. If there are too many competitors, it will inevitably be disadvantageous to Yang Min-hyuk. Monker is also a potential competitor for Yang Min-hyuk. Attention is focusing on whether Yang Min-hyuk will be able to establish himself as Tottenham's main striker through fierce competition.
