When he scored his first goal for Gangwon in March, Hyuk became the youngest scorer in the K League since 2013. And his performances eventually caught the eye of Tottenham, who have now completed a deal to bring him to London.
When asked if he had the chance to talk to Son after his transfer was confirmed, Yang-Min Hyuk said:
“I met Son Heung Min in Seoul while completing the last part of my medical test for Tottenham. He told me that I am playing well and that I should study English diligently from now.”
