Why does Tottenham have Yang Min-hyuk but Son Heung-min is not there yet.
Tottenham introduced the players who returned to prepare for the 2025-2026 season on its official SNS on the 6th (Korea time). Yang Min-hyuk, who returned to Tottenham with key players such as Dominic Solanke, Guglielmo Vicario and Radu Dragusin, was also revealed.
However, Son Heung-min has not been seen yet. Unlike Yang Min-hyuk, Son Heung-min was given a little more time off. This is because Son Heung-min, who had a tight schedule throughout the 2024-2025 season, played the Korean national team game after the season at Tottenham was over.

Son Heung-min could have chosen to rest due to a foot injury, but he joined Hong Myung-bo with a sense of responsibility as a captain. Although he did not play much time as a substitute in the game, Tottenham gave more rest to the players who played in the A-match schedule. His team is also flexibly adjusting the timing of his return in consideration of Son Heung-min's load. The club plans to thoroughly manage his condition from the pre-season to maintain his best performance.
In this regard, Football London said 'Other international players will return to Tottenham's training ground in stages over the next week. Meanwhile, first-team players Archie Gray, Matistel, Wilson O'Dowbert and Mikey Moore, who participated in the U-21 and U-19 European Championships, which lasted until the end of last month, will be given a longer break if they want ahead of the upcoming busy season.

Compared to Son Heung-min, Yang Min-hyuk's 2024-2025 season was completed in early May and completed really quickly. Since he took a break for about two months, Yang Min-hyuk joins the team early and starts building up his body for the next season.
When both Yang Min-hyuk and Son Heung-min join Tottenham, conversations with new Tottenham manager Thomas Frank are expected to be important. First of all, Yang Min-hyuk is expected to rent a second lease for now. Football London earlier predicted that `Yang Min-hyuk and Will Rankshire are likely to leave for Queens Park Rangers (QPR) and West Bromwich Albion respectively in the second half of last season and then leave the team again.' However, if Yang Min-hyuk clearly impresses head coach Frank in the pre-season, the loan may be different.

What matters is Son Heung-min. According to leading British reporters, Son Heung-min is also willing to leave Tottenham. Tottenham is also in a position to let Son Heung-min go if he decides to leave. Son Heung-min is expected to decide his future after hearing how important he is to coach Frank's idea.
If Son Heung-min decides to leave Tottenham after talking with the manager, and Yang Min-hyuk also leaves on loan, he could spend the first season without a Korean player at Tottenham since the 2015-2016 season.
