Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal to sign South Korean winger Yang Min-hyuk from Gangwon FC.

The 18-year-old will remain at K League club Gangwon until January before joining up with the Spurs squad.

Yang became the youngest K League scorer in 11 years when he netted his first goal for the club in March, and he has gone on to score seven goals in 24 matches for Gangwon.

He will join fellow South Korean Son Heung-min, who previously had experienced Korean defender Lee Young-pyo in their squad from 2005 to 2008.

Yang is the third 18-year-old arrival at Spurs this summer transfer window following the signing of Archie Gray from Leeds United and Lucas Bergvall’s move from Djurgarden.

Elsewhere, Ange Postecoglou’s side have also extended Timo Werner’s loan deal for the 2024-25 season.

Spurs will play a K League XI side on July 31 at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

They begin their Premier League campaign at newly-promoted Leicester City on August 19.
