Tottenham have made only two summer signings so far- but they are closing in on their third now.

Tottenham are in the final stages of completing their third summer signing, with sources in Korea telling LondonWorld that the deal is almost done for 18-year-old Min-Hyeok Yang. The teenager has impressed in the K League this season, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in 24 appearances so far.

There is an unspoken admission that Tottenham’s club captain Son Heung-min is in the twilight of his career aged 32, but there is no better player to replace him than a man seen as a rising star in South Korean football.

When the deal is done, the striker is expected to stay and complete the ongoing South Korean league before likely joining Spurs in 2025, similar to the way they handled the Lucas Bergvall deal, where they agreed with his club but were willing to allow him to stay before joining this summer.

Tottenham's Business So Far

Spurs have already shown their financial muscle, having raided Leeds United for Archie Gray in a deal worth £40million while Welsh defender Joe Rodon went the other way in a separate £10m deal. They also took up the option to sign Timo Werner for another season on loan, giving themselves a good chance to evaluate him before making a final decision.

Bergvall, mentioned earlier, has also joined the squad for the first time, even though his deal was completed last year. Spurs finished fifth last season, missing their Champions League target by the skin of their teeth. This season will be massive for the Lilywhites, who have not won a trophy since their Carling Cup win in 2008.

On the departure front, the likes of Tanguy Ndombele and Pierre-Emile Højbjerg have left, with Bryan Gil and Sergio Reguilon remaining in north London to sort out their futures.
