Tottenham will be able to face a season without Korean players for the first time in 10 years.
Alasdier Gold, a reporter from Football London who is familiar with Tottenham's news, shed light on the situation in the Tottenham transfer market on the 5th (Korea time) 'Thomas Frank allowed nine transfers from Tottenham'
Gold said 'Tottenham already has five players left the team. However, Tottenham will not stop there, and will be busy with recruitment and release in the final weeks of the transfer window. Frank said he had already made decisions about veteran players and young players who are expected to leave the club.

Tottenham is under Thomas Frank this summer, and the wind of change is blowing. Tottenham, which ended its time without spectators by winning the Europa League at the end of the 2024-2025 season, chose to change by appointing Frank instead of retaining coach Enze Postecoglou. The movement that caused the biggest tectonic fluctuation is the departure of captain Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min confirmed his break-up with Tottenham after a pre-season friendly match against Newcastle in Korea and flew to the U.S. to join LAFC.
Son Heung-min is not the end of the change in the squad. With freshmen such as Matistel, Mohamed Kudus and Takai Gota already joining, many transfer players are expected to leave Tottenham. Mikey Moore and Will Rankshire have left on loan, while Sergio Reguilon and Alfie Whiteman have said goodbye to Tottenham due to the expiration of their contracts.

Amid the change, Yang Min-hyuk is also likely to go on loan instead of competing for the first team. Gold said, `We understand that Luca Buschkovic, Jamie Donley, George Abbott, Yang Min-hyuk, Tyree's Hall, and Dane Scarlett are all available for rent' and Yang Min-hyuk is eligible for rent.
After joining Tottenham in December last year, Yang Min-hyuk took the opportunity to adapt to the English stage by renting the Queens Park Rangers. After a difficult time, he returned to Tottenham this summer and played a pre-season tour together. He has played in several games, but it seems that he has not yet decided whether to remain in the first team or on loan.
If Yang Min-hyuk also gets a chance to grow on loan, Tottenham is expected to play the season without a Korean player for the first time since the 2014-2015 season. Tottenham, which has a new squad, has no choice but to focus on finding franchise stars because Son Heung-min is not there. Yang Min-hyuk's future is also expected to attract great attention whether Tottenham will form a team of "pro-Korean clubs".
