'High School Winger' Yang Min-hyuk (19) did not leave the country, but he did not. It was thanks to Tottenham's consideration.

After completing his Korean schedule, Tottenham left for England at 1 a.m. on the 4th via Incheon International Airport. Tottenham quickly headed to the airport after finishing the two matches of the '2025 Coupang Play Series' with Newcastle United at 8 p.m. on the 3rd. Only Son Heung-min and Ben Davies were interviewed in the mixed zone, while the rest of the players rushed to board the bus to the airport.

The same was true of Yang Min-hyuk. Yang Min-hyuk, who was deployed at the last minute of the second half of the day and made active movements, left after asking reporters for an interview, saying, `I have to go quickly.' This is because the flight time was so tight.




Tottenham's squad arrived at Incheon International Airport at around 0 a.m. on the 4th. Except for Son Heung-min and Yang Min-hyuk, all entered the arrival hall. Son Heung-min's case was expected. At first, it was said that he could return to London with the Tottenham squad, but there was no reason to go back to England as he announced his separation from Tottenham. Coach Thomas Frank asserted after the match against Newcastle that `Today is Son Heung-min's last game.'

Son Heung-min is currently likely to go to LA FC in the U.S. Major League Soccer (MLS), and according to foreign media, an LA FC official is reportedly negotiating with Son Heung-min in Korea. Son Heung-min is expected to make a final decision on his future in Korea.

Yang Min-hyuk is different. Yang Min-hyuk, who moved to Tottenham in December last year, left for the Championship (second division) Queens Park Rangers through the transfer market in January. Yang Min-hyuk adapted to the England stage, scoring two goals and one assist in 18 games. Yang Min-hyuk has been taking a full-fledged position at Tottenham since this summer. Some even said that he could be unexpectedly moderate under coach Frank, who has a strong opinion on fostering prospects.

Yang Min-hyuk did not play in his first pre-season game against Reading in League 1 (third division), but then started in a pre-season game against Leyton Orient (third division) as a member of the Tottenham Under-21 team and played for the first time under the Tottenham emblem. On the 26th of last month, he played in the second half of the game against Luton Town (second division) and made his debut in the first division. After 13 minutes on the ground, Yang Min-hyuk left a strong impact and was praised by local fans as a player who could become Son Heung-min's successor.

Yang Min-hyuk also showed a sharp appearance in the second half against Newcastle. Although it was a disappointing finish, he also created a chance to face the goalkeeper. With Son Heung-min's departure and James Maddison's sudden injury, Yang Min-hyuk has a chance to expand his position at Tottenham in earnest. But he did not leave for England, and many 'sul' came out. There were even stories that a new destination was decided and that it was a visa issue.

As a result of the report, there was a reason why Yang Min-hyuk did not leave with the team. Tottenham will have a short break of two to three days after returning to England. Tottenham suggested Yang Min-hyuk 'Wouldn't it be better to spend another day in his home country if he wanted to?' as he took a break anyway. Yang Min-hyuk was pleased. After staying on the team bus, Yang Min-hyuk moved in another vehicle. I can spend another day of my delicious vacation in Korea.




Yang Min-hyuk leaves for England at 12 p.m. on the 5th. He joins Tottenham, but at the moment, he is likely to be on loan. Tottenham, which signed a first-team contract with Yang Min-hyuk, is reportedly seeking various measures for Yang Min-hyuk's long-term development, including staying.
