Spurs scouting trip nets new target
Tottenham Hotspur have been very active in the Asian community, and the North Londoners could boost their stronghold in the market by acquiring another South Korean talent, Yang Min-hyeok. An unnamed Premier League club is in talks with the 18-year-old for a possible move this summer, per The Mirror.
Spurs have landed in South Korea as they start their pre-season campaign in Seoul, as Son Heung-Min’s native destination will be one of the destinations in their Asia tour.
Spurs look to secure Yang Min-hyeok deal ahead of rivals
Tottenham are scheduled to face German giants Bayern Munich on August 3, and a fixture against a K-League All-Star team a few days before that. However, it looks like the club is doing a bit of scouting as well.
Rumours suggest that a Premier League club is in contact with Gangwon FC in a bid to land the highly-rated winger, Yang Min-hyeok.
The Mirror suggests that Spurs could be mooted as his next destination; however, Southampton have also been linked with a move for the 18-year-old.
Yang Min-hyeok recently penned down his first professional contract and is in line to feature against Spurs on 31st July when Ange Postecoglou’s men rub shoulders with K-League XI.
Any possible transfer will include Yang Min-hyeok loaning back to his current employers for another season, and the Korean club insists that CEO Kim Byung-ji will reveal details of the deal on a YouTube livestream on July 28 or 29.

This could be an ideal move for Tottenham, as they are not only scheduled to face him in the off-season but also have Son in their ranks to back a move for the South Korean star. Any potential move for Yang can further strengthen Spurs’ presence in the South Korean and Asian markets.
