Yang Min-hyuk (19), who appeared as a K-League supernova last year and signed with Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL) in the summer transfer market, was evaluated as having excellent potential and growth potential. It was ranked 43rd among soccer players born after January 1, 2006.
Yang Min-hyuk, who transferred from Tottenham to Queens Park Rangers (QPR) on loan in January, is aiming to re-enter Tottenham after the end of the season by steadily increasing his playing time. This is the best scenario for Yang Min-hyuk.
Just in time, a favorable factor has emerged that increases the possibility of Tottenham's early return. Yang Min-hyuk's potential and development potential are both among the best in the world.
Golcom, a global soccer media outlet, announced on the 18th (Korea time) '2025 NXGN (Next Generation) 50'. Among the top 10 prospects in the world, 50 were selected and ranked, and this was explained. It is a ranking with considerable public confidence because it has been consistently selected every year. Lamine Yamal, who is playing in Barcelona in Spain's Primera Liga, was selected as the No. 1 player in NXGN this year. It is No. 1 for the second consecutive year since last year.

Tottenham of the EPL then allowed Yang Min-hyuk to complete the 2024 season at Gangwon FC. Thanks to this, Yang Min-hyuk made a strong impression with 12 goals and 6 assists for the season. Yang Min-hyuk, who came to England in December after the season, is currently on loan to QPR in the English Championship (second division) and is gaining experience in English football."

However, the list includes three competitors who are likely to fight Yang Min-hyuk for the main position at Tottenham in the future. Therefore, I can't just like Yang Min-hyuk's 43rd place evaluation.
Mikey Moore, Lucas Veribal and Archie Gray, who joined Tottenham around the same time as Yang Min-hyuk, were all ranked higher than Yang Min-hyuk. Moore is ranked 22nd, Veribal is 17th, and Gray is 13th.
They are currently playing in Tottenham's first team. In contrast to Yang Min-hyuk's loan to QPR after failing to make his first-team debut at Tottenham. This means that Yang Min-hyuk's current skills are inferior to these three.
Yang Min-hyuk must be on par with or ahead of the three promising players in order to return to Tottenham after his future lease and take the main position. It can be seen that the current ranking of prospects marks the gap between Yang Min-hyuk and the three. How quickly you close this gap depends on whether Yang Min-hyuk succeeds on the British stage.
