Yang Min-hyuk is more likely to become the Premier Leaguer in the K-League’s best rookie. It is certain from the past half-year performance that Tottenham Hotspur, an English Premier League powerhouse, has a talent to aim for.
Fabrizio Romano, a reporter specializing in the transfer market, said on the 24th (Korea time), “Tottenham is about to recruit Gangwon FC winger Yang Min-hyuk, who was born in 2006. The agreement is over, and only medical tests are left.” “Tottenham Scouts believe Yang Min-hyuk has important potential and has great talent to demonstrate in the future,” he said.
“The transfer period is next year. After signing the contract with Tottenham, he will stay in Gangwon Province until January next year. The paperwork will be completed within a few days,” another forecast said. The prospect is that he will sign the contract with Tottenham right away, but will go to Tottenham after completing his high school education.
If Korean offensive resources can move directly to the PL, it will be the first time in a long time. Lee Chung-yong is a winger from the K-League, who was able to immediately improve his skills by moving directly to the PL. According to his K-League records when Lee was about to move to the Bolton Wanderers in 2008, he had five goals and six assists in 20 games, and three goals and four assists in 15 games in 2009, which is on par with Yang’s current level. Yang has seven goals and three assists in 24 games. He is lagging behind Lee in terms of attack points per game, but has more goals than Lee in terms of points scored. It should also be taken into account that Yang is a first-year professional. Lee played his fourth year in the K-League before heading to England.
Yang Min-hyuk will be the third Korean offensive resource to go straight from the 메이저사이트 K-League to the PL after Lee Chung-yong and Ji Dong-won.
Yang Min-hyuk is showing the highest scoring ability among K-League wingers at an early age, and analysts say that the content of his play in the goal scene is not a temporary rise but a real skill. Yang Min-hyuk combines penetration and scoring ability, which stems from his ability to grasp situations where he can make a breakthrough even with seemingly effortless plays. Before receiving the ball, he recognizes the surrounding situation in advance, creates the desired situation with only one or two simple moves, and often makes a breakthrough or shot. If he is in a situation where he can shoot right after receiving the ball, it is impressive to see him prepare for the shot by adjusting the step with his small feet before the first touch. This is a step ahead of many promising players who start thinking after holding the ball.
He also has the ability to pressure others. Gegenpressing is no longer a tactical concept for a specific team but a partial tactic that strong PL teams can use to some extent. Strikers should be able to do so in a forward-pressing capacity. Yang displayed the highest level of pressure in all K-League offensive resources as of the end of August when rumors of his transfer to the PL began in earnest. According to the information released by the data company “Ground Bigfoot” quoting OPTA data at the time, he ranked fourth overall in the league with 60 tackle attempts, and seventh overall in the league with 26 tackles. His performance is impressive in that he is not fourth among strikers but fourth overall in all positions. He also stole the ball 78 times to rank 16th overall in the league and successfully competed on the ground with 68 times, ranking 10th overall in total. This means that not only do he have many defensive attempts but he also succeeds in many cases. In the early days of his K-League debut, Yang garnered good performance by making plays that created chances to counterattack after stealing the ball.
Such characteristics are second only to Son’s successor at Tottenham. Yang is 14 years younger than Son. He is a good age to be a successor. He can play a role similar to Son in many ways, including his ability to breakthrough and score points, as well as his defensive capabilities and understanding of tactics, as well as his ability to play a role similar to that of Son. He entered the first team with a powerful shot following counterattack in his childhood, but has a chance to complete his tactical understanding earlier than Son, who gradually improved.
He still has some drawbacks. He can benefit from simple play through situational judgment and technique mentioned above, but when simple play does not work, he also shows inconvenience when continuing play by holding the ball for a long time. He still needs to grow his ability to resume offensive work when his aim is blocked.
