Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has been speaking to the media at today’s press conference ahead of the match against Vissel Kobe.

The North Londoners face their J1 League opponents tomorrow at the Japan National Stadium to continue their pre-season preparations.

Spurs arrived in Japan on Tuesday and have been busy holding double training sessions as they look to acclimatise to the searing heat in Tokyo.

Tottenham are unbeaten in pre-season so far following victories against Cambridge United, Hearts and Queens Park Rangers.

While Tottenham have only brought in Timo Werner on loan and Archie Gray from Leeds during the window, one player who has been heavily linked with a move to the club is South Korean winger Yang Min-hyuk.

Postecoglou was today asked about the speculation and remained coy with his answer about the 18-year-old who currently plays for Gangwon FC.

Postecoglou told Football.London: “I’m well aware of the quality of the K League. When I was at Celtic we were looking to bring over a couple of Korean players.

“They have made a fantastic impact across Europe, none bigger than our Sonny. He’s an outstanding individual. So yes, we’ll be looking far and wide for players. As you said, it’s difficult for me to discuss (grins).“

Following the match against Vissel Kobe, Spurs will head to South Korea for a double header against Team K League and Bayern Munich.
