Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has seemingly just confirmed the club’s third signing of the summer.

Ange Postecoglou played a key role in Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of midfielder Archie Gray, who has already made quite the impact for the Lilywhites.

As well as this, promising Swedish midfielder Lucas Bergvall snubbed interest from Barcelona to make the move to Tottenham this summer.

HITC has reported that Tottenham are interested in signing Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze this summer with the Englishman understood to be unsettled following Michael Olise’s departure from the Eagles to Bayern Munich.

Speaking in his latest press-conference ahead of the new season, Postecoglou has spoken about a potential third summer signing for Spurs.

Postecoglou on Yang Min-Hyuk signing

Speaking to the media, the Australian was asked about the potential of adding Yang Min-Hyuk to his side and the former Celtic manager admitted it was a possibility.

“Yeah, again I’m well aware of the quality of the K League,” Postecoglou told Football.London. “When I was at Celtic we were looking to bring over at least a couple of Korean players at the time and I think they’ve brought a couple over.

“Again they’ve made a fantastic impact in Europe, a lot of Korean players, none bigger and none better than our own Sonny.

“He’s just an outstanding player and an outstanding person. He’s the captain of our club and he’s just an outstanding individual, we’re super happy to have him at our football club.

“So yes, we’ll be looking far and wide for players and as you rightly said, it is difficult for me to discuss (grins).

Yang Min-Hyuk closing in on Spurs move

Little is known about Yang Min-Hyuk but Tottenham are closing in on a deal for the Korean with Fabrizio Romano delivering the famous ‘here we go’ over the deal.

Gangwon FC’s president, however, Kim Byung-ji took to Instagram to say the deal was ’90-95% there’ but ‘not quite done’.

Despite this admission from the club’s president, Postecoglou’s comments, and grin, would suggest Spurs are closing in on their third addition of the summer.
