Hyun Min’s son has left Tottenham Hotspur, confirmed Wednesday night, closing the curtains for an incredible decade at a Korean club.
He joined Bayer Leverkusen’s Lily White in 2015 and could not predict the successful spell he enjoyed with North London’s first team.
The forward has made over 450 appearances for the club and scored 173 times. This is the tally that put him fourth on the club’s highest scorer list of all-time scoring, and he joined former teammate Harry Kane in the top five.
However, it was definitely the best time to leave the club, and by winning the Europa League title last season, they helped them wait for the trophy for 17 years.
He’s definitely going to make a big mistake. It leaves a big hole in the attack division.
Latest new additions on Spurs hunting this summer
Real Madrid star Rodrigo is heavily promoted in his move to join Spurs this summer after being able to transfer by new boss Xabi Alonso.
It has been reported recently that the Lily Whiteman has prepared an opening offer to land a 24-year-old landing, who scored 14 times for the Spanish Giants last season.
But he’s not just the Brazilians on their radar now, but Manchester City star Savigno is the player they’re considering, according to Givemesport.
Their report claims that the 21-year-old has not yet received a bid, but Frank’s side has given an internal talk for the forward who has registered 14 combination goals and assists in 2024/25.
The players also say they could fall into a hierarchy in Etihad through future campaigns.
Why is the latest Spurs target becoming a crew hybrid with the perfect son?
Despite his son leaving the Spurs, new boss Frank hopes to turn to Dejan Krucevsky in the final third place of the season, allowing the Swedes to continue in a tremendous form from the 2024/25 campaign.
The 25-year-old has been suffering from an injury struggle recently and is expected to miss the launch of a new campaign, but it could prove to be an important option for setting up the table in the near future.
The Swedes registered 21 targets, assisting the club in 50 outings last season, and then offered a versatile option within the attacking area of Lily White.
He can perform surgery in either the flank or in the 10th position. This could prove useful after James Madison was confirmed to require surgery due to an ACL injury.
Savinho also has a similar level of adaptability and could prove to be another important option that can appear on the whole frontline.
He was labelled by FBREF as a player similar to both his son and Kulusevski, and was able to outperform the pair in many key areas. He shows why this window would be such a great addition.
Labeled “Incredible” by the current boss guardiola, Savinho completed more passes to the opposition box per 90 and a higher tally of key passes.

He also notched more progressive carry around 90, and many of the dribblings in a box with the ball in an 18-yard box added another direct option to Frank’s already powerful frontline.
The Brazilians achieved better take-on success rates and completed crosses about 90.
While it is unclear how many cities will demand that the 21-year-old be let go this summer, it is clear that he will be a great option for Frank in search of success in North London.
If Lilywhites can replicate the levels produced by the aforementioned duo, he is certainly a fan favorite and can add a new dimension to the club’s offensive division.
