Report: Tottenham think they have just secured an absolute bargain signing who could be worth millions

Tottenham have put their trust in youth since Ange Postecoglou took over and it’s beginning to pay off for the North London club.
The Lilywhites did spend a hefty sum of money on five additions this summer though four of them are below the age of 20, so they’re very much building for the future.
Postecoglou has looked to give younger players a chance in the current campaign, with Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray and Wilson Odobert all enjoying minutes in the side.
Dominic Solanke was the big-money striker signing that Ange craved at Tottenham but he’s not been able to play much football due to an injury.
But, it looks as if another deal caught the eye of the people behind the scenes at Spurs…
Tottenham think they have secured an absolute bargain signing
Bergvall has been earning all the plaudits after his second cap for Sweden, while Harry Redknapp has backed Archie Gray to become a ‘top player’.
But, as promising as they are, they’re not the player who Spurs believe has huge value potential.
According to Give Me Sport, there is a desire for Yang Min-hyeok, who joined for £3.4 million, to turn into one of their best summer signings as he has the potential to go on and be worth significantly more than the amount they paid, while following in his fellow countryman’s footsteps would go down well.
It’s stated that the South Korean’s next outing will be crucial in helping Tottenham to identify how far along he is with his game-changing ability in pivotal clashes as Gangwon will go head-to-head with fellow title-chasers Ulsan in a top-of-the-table encounter later this month.
Who is Yang Min-Hyeok?
Joel Kim provided the full lowdown on what Tottenham fans can expect from Yang Min-hyeok.
"If Yang Min-hyuk can be described in two words, it's power and pace. Add adaptability, and he becomes a versatile asset for Tottenham's attacking football," Kim said.
"At just 18, Yang brings incredible speed to the attack, running with youthful vigour. His surprising physical strength allows him to dominate veteran defenders in the K-League 1, Asia's most physical league.
"His greatest asset might be his adaptability; like Son Heung-min, Yang is two-footed and can play on either the left or right wing. Comparisons to Anthony Gordon and Federico Chiesa highlight his potential.
"Yang loves to charge forward with the ball, whether along the flanks or through the middle, overwhelming defenders with his pace. Defensively, he's underrated, often intercepting passes and reading plays before they unfold."
Kim continued and revealed what Min-hyuk needs to improve on: "His weaknesses include occasional clumsiness and dispossession, common among downhill running wingers.
"Recently, he has struggled to find space when tightly marked by several defenders, preventing him from even touching the ball. He needs to step up in those moments and make his presence felt."
