He had been linked to Ange Postecoglou’s team and now it is confirmed that he will join in January 2025 from K-League side Gangwon FC

Min-Hyeok stated: "First of all, joining such a big club is an honour. I will try my best to show my best. My style is aggressive, I'm good with one-on-ones and I'm quite fast. 

"I also have good finishing skills. I'm moving abroad so adapting is very important, but there is Sonny (Heung-min) who will be a big help for my adapting process because we're both Korean. Sonny is the captain of our national team and I'd say he had a big influence over my decision. 

"I feel like I'm dreaming. So far, I haven't spoken with Sonny but I know I can learn a lot from him just by talking with him and the whole team. 

"My brother played football so I naturally played as well. I have had a passion for football and enjoyed running around since I was a kid and I've put a lot of effort into becoming a professional footballer. I've never been to London but I'm very excited to visit and see the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. 

"But most importantly, I want to make my debut and show a good performance for the fans. It's a big challenge but I believe I can show and prove my worth and talent. I still have a lot to accomplish with Gangwon FC and I want to give their fans a big present before I leave. 

"After that, I want to be a player who helps Spurs right after joining the team."
