Tottenham Hotspur supporters had a chance to catch a glimpse of their new signing Yang Min-Hyeok who featured against them for K-League XI.
The winger completed 45 minutes against Ange Postecoglou’s team and even during that period he made quite an impression.
Spurs continued their perfect start to pre-season as they held on to win 4-3 in Seoul in a hectic match against Korean opposition.
Heung-min Son netted a brace, Dejan Kulusesvki also got on the scoresheet whilst Will Lankshear added a fourth.
After the first half, Spurs fans took to X to give their verdict on their latest addition’s display against their own team.
Yang Min-Hyeok’s performance impresses Tottenham fans
Yang Min-Hyeok made a great first impression in front of Tottenham fans as he produced some great passages of play in Seoul.
Yang is due to join Tottenham in January 2025 and in the meantime, will remain in South Korea to complete the season with Gangwon.
But on his big day in front of his new supporters, Yang left them impressed, with one moment in particular against Emerson Royal leaving fans very amused.
The 18-year-old produced a wonderful turn to leave the Brazilian bamboozled just 21 minutes into the match.
One supporter said: “In fairness, he is only coming up against Emerson instead of likes of Romero or van de Ven but our new boy Yang Min-hyuk impresses me with how he takes on defenders.”
“Huge fan of Yang Min-hyuk’s profile. Something we haven’t had in a winger in a very long time,” another added. Whilst one fan stated: “Yang Min-hyuk showing his speed, technique and explosiveness against Spurs in the early stages, he just burnt Sarr.”
Another said: “I don’t care if it was against Royal, that Yang Min-Hyuk turn was special!”
Finally, one added: “Ange gotta be feeling mixed feelings every time Yang Min-hyuk beats our defence.”
Yang shows early promise against Tottenham
Yang certainly showed glimpses of why Tottenham made a move to sign him this summer.
Whilst he is still raw, the South Korean youngster showed some impressive qualities, particularly his explosive pace.
On several occasions against Spurs, he showed a great turn of pace to beat Premier League-level players, which is impressive given his age.
The 18-year-old came very close to getting on the scoresheet as he fired an effort just over the crossbar in the first half.
Yang will now be focused on honing his skills with K-League side Gangwon until January and then look to hit the ground running at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
