According to King, Tottenham may have already signed a replacement for Son, and he most likely recommended him.

Bryan King has insisted that Son Heung-Min will likely have recommended Yang Min-Hyeok to Tottenham.

Spurs have confirmed the signing of the 18-year-old attacker from Gangwon FC, and he will officially join up with the club in January 2025.

The ex-Tottenham scout admitted that Yang will likely see Son as his idol and could even eventually replace him in North London.

“Obviously, Spurs are looking at young talent throughout the world,” King exclusively told Tottenham News.

“They brought the other two youngsters in from Croatia and Sweden. Now they have brought in this player.

“Obviously I’d imagine he has been recommended by Son Heung-min.

“It is another connection with South Korea, Son is getting older, and this kid could be an ideal replacement for him.

“Son is a wide player who loves scoring and setting goals up, and Yang sounds like he could materialise into a very similar player to the one Tottenham have already got.

“It will be exciting to see if Yang can follow in the footsteps of, I’d imagine, his idol.”
