Speaking exclusively to TBR Football, Joel Kim provided the full lowdown on what Tottenham fans can expect from Yang Min-hyuk, who is set to be announced on the pre-season tour in Asia.
“If Yang Min-hyuk can be described in two words, it’s power and pace. Add adaptability, and he becomes a versatile asset for Tottenham’s attacking football,” Kim said.
“At just 18, Yang brings incredible speed to the attack, running with youthful vigour. His surprising physical strength allows him to dominate veteran defenders in the K-League 1, Asia’s most physical league.
“His greatest asset might be his adaptability; like Son Heung-min, Yang is two-footed and can play on either the left or right wing. Comparisons to Anthony Gordon and Federico Chiesa highlight his potential.
“Yang loves to charge forward with the ball, whether along the flanks or through the middle, overwhelming defenders with his pace. Defensively, he’s underrated, often intercepting passes and reading plays before they unfold.”
Kim continued and revealed what Min-hyuk needs to improve on: “His weaknesses include occasional clumsiness and dispossession, common among downhill running wingers.
“Recently, he has struggled to find space when tightly marked by several defenders, preventing him from even touching the ball. He needs to step up in those moments and make his presence felt.”
Bayern have bid €55million (£46million), whilst PSG’s offer amounts to nearer €60million (£50million) – which is Rennes’ asking price.
Tottenham have been watching Doue closely and are huge admirers of the teenager, but as it stands they are not ready to move for him.
TBR understands that Spurs’ interest in bringing in a wide forward is seeing them focus their attentions on Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze and Pedro Neto of Wolves.
The analyst shared how he thinks the teenager will fit into Ange Postecoglou system: “Yang’s playing style suits Tottenham’s attacking football well. He could bring significant width to the attack, charging down either side to take on defenders 1v1 or deliver crosses into the box.
“His high-intensity energy and versatility, including the potential to play as a number 9, distinguish him among Tottenham’s already rich bevvy of wingers.”
