Yang Min-Hyeok is determined to deliver his best in a Spurs shirt when he joins us in the new year.
Completing his move to the Club on Sunday (28 July) from Korean side Gangwon FC, Yang signed a deal with the Club which will run until 2030 and will link up with his new team-mates in January, 2025.
Currently midway through his first professional season in the K League, the 18-year-old will complete the campaign with Gangwon who are vying for the title in the Korean top flight and are on course to secure their best-ever finish.
Yet, while he still hopes to help the team - one that is Heung-Min Son's hometown club - achieve success, he is already dreaming of pulling on our famous Lilywhite shirt and showing Spurs fans what he can do.
Speaking in his first interview with the Club, the winger said: "First of all, joining such a big club is an honour. I will try my best to show my best.
"I don’t think that I am that young. And I am chasing my dream. It is a big challenge, I believe I can show and prove my talent.
"Joining a big club like Spurs means that the Club acknowledges my abilities. I believe that if I do my best and work hard, I will automatically improve a lot.
"When I move (to London), adapting will be important. There is Sonny, this will be a big help for my adapting process since we are both Korean. Sonny is captain of Korea, I would say he had a big influence on my decision."
