Yang Min-hyeok (19) was spotted training at Tottenham.
On the 8th (Korea time), Tottenham released a video of their first training session under manager Frank as part of their summer preseason preparations on the club's official website.
The video captured Yang Min-hyeok diligently engaging in training after completing his loan at the end of last season and returning to Tottenham. After stretching, Yang Min-hyeok participated in sprint training and mini-games.
Yang Min-hyeok signed with Tottenham in July last year. After being officially registered as a player in January 2025, he was loaned to Queens Park Rangers (QPR), a team in the English Championship (second division), to gain real match experience.
Shortly after joining QPR, on January 29, he made his debut and quickly adapted to the team. He secured a spot as a starting forward. He played in a total of 14 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist, including 8 matches as a starter.
His strengths are his speed and confident dribbling. Indeed, QPR's manager, Marti Si Fuentes, highly praised his growth, stating, "Yang Min-hyeok is a player with an excellent attitude. He has a strong willingness to learn and possesses threatening speed and dribbling ability."
After finishing the season, Yang Min-hyeok returned to Tottenham. A tough competition awaits him there. He will need to compete with the likes of Son Heung-min, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore, Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, and Brennan Johnson in the winger department. He must survive the fierce competition to make it onto the first team.
Nonetheless, local media outlets have a high evaluation of Yang Min-hyeok's potential. The London World predicted, "Manager Frank is a coach who developed Kion Lewis-Porter at Brentford. Lewis-Porter has grown into a player capable of playing various positions. Yang Min-hyeok can also develop under Manager Frank to become a key player for Tottenham's future."
Manager Frank is regarded as a coach who gives opportunities to young players and draws out their potential.
Tottenham will undertake a summer preseason tour from July 20 to August 13. The schedule will take them through five countries: the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Korea, Germany, and Italy. The final match will be against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the UEFA Super Cup.
Tottenham's first match will be an away game against Reading on July 20. They will then meet Luton Town on the 27th. Both matches will take place in England.
After that, Tottenham will move to Asia. They will play against Arsenal in a North London derby in Hong Kong on July 31. On August 3, they will face Newcastle United in a Coupang Play Series match in Seoul.
After completing the Asia tour, Tottenham will head to Germany. They will play against Bayern Munich in the Telekom Cup at Allianz Arena in Munich on August 8.
The last event of the preseason schedule is the Super Cup. Tottenham will participate as the reigning Europa League champions. Their opponent will be the Champions League winners, PSG. The match will be held at Stadio Friuli in Udine, Italy, on August 13.
Tottenham plans to assess their squad through the upcoming six matches and complete preparations for the 2025-2026 season.
