Yang Min-hyuk is unlikely to play for Tottenham in the upcoming season.
British Football London is fiercely competing for Tottenham's wing position on the 26th (Korea time). 'There are many resources to play in the side including Matisse Tell, who was fully recruited this summer, Son Heung-min, Wilson O'Dober, Hishalisson, Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevski, injured Manor Solomon, and newly joined Mohamed Kudus,' he said, referring to Yang Min-hyuk's future.
On Yang Min-hyuk, Football London wrote 'Another winger, Yang Min-hyuk, is expected to go on loan again' Football London also predicted Tottenham's transfer market earlier this month, explaining that Yang Min-hyuk is likely to leave for Queens Park Rangers (QPR) in the second half of last season and then leave the team again.
To some extent, it is a predictable scenario. Even if Yang Min-hyuk remains at Tottenham, there is a high possibility that he will not receive the opportunity. Due to Tottenham's current team situation, it is difficult to participate in the cup. Tottenham is in danger of not being able to register a large number of first-team players because they did not meet 100% of the European national competition squad registration regulations.
Citing Tottenham's registration as a player in the European tournament, England's The Athletic said 'Tottenham manager Thomas Frank should exclude nine first-team players from the list. Takai Kota, Manor Solomon, Brian Hill, Yang Min-hyuk, Radu Dragushin, Ben Davis, and Ashley Phillips are mentioned as strong candidates for exclusion, but only seven of them have been mentioned by stamping Yang Min-hyuk's name.
Tottenham and Frank seem to have decided that Yang Min-hyuk is not enough to play in Tottenham's first team yet. Yang Min-hyuk, who joined Tottenham in the second half of last season and was loaned to QPR, still needed to grow. Even if Yang Min-hyuk did not show all of his competitiveness because it was too short a lease, it would not have been a lease that Yang Min-hyuk himself was 100% satisfied with. In QPR, Yang Min-hyuk played in 14 games and scored two goals and one assist.
As analyzed in Football London, there are too many players Yang Min-hyuk has to win the competition right now. Even if Son Heung-min really leaves Tottenham, the situation does not change much. It is difficult to give Yang Min-hyuk many chances to play because Tottenham cannot miss both the league and the European Champions League (UCL). Even if there are too many competitors left for Tottenham, it does not seem easy to get a chance for the first team.

This trend shows that Son Heung-min's advice was not wrong when Yang Min-hyuk joined. After Yang Min-hyuk's trip to Tottenham was decided, Son Heung-min said "I want to tell you it's going to be really hard. Playing in the EPL is not easy at all. In order to grow into the best player in the world, everything must be perfectly prepared, including language, culture, physical conditions, personality, and living alone away from family."
It is still a difficult situation, but if Yang Min-hyuk leaves the loan and shows his growth in the upcoming season, he could be given a little chance in Tottenham's first team in the 2026-2027 season. As a young player born in 2006, there is no reason to be in a hurry.
