Another talented 'Young K Leaguer' is knocking on the door of the English Premier League (EPL). The EPL club, not the player, showed interest first. The main character is Yoon Do-young (19), who debuted in K League 1 in the 2024 season with Hana Citizen in Daejeon. He is also the best friend of Yang Min-hyuk (19), who is already wearing a Tottenham Hotspur uniform.

Global media The Athletic reported on the 24th (Korea time) 'The Brighton club is showing interest in Yoon Do-young, a promising Korean player' The British media Mirror is also on the list of clubs showing interest in Daejeon Hana Citizen winger Yoon Do-young, who is considered one of the top prospects in Asian soccer. The competition for recruiting Yoon is intensifying,' he said.

The EPL has recently shown interest in young prospects in the K League. Last year, Tottenham already recruited Yang Min-hyuk, who appeared as a K-League supernova. After finishing the 2024 season at Gangwon FC, Yang Min-hyuk moved to England in December last year and joined Tottenham. I got my uniform number 18 and am participating in team training. However, he has yet to make his debut on the British stage.




Coincidentally, Yoon Do-young is friends with Yang Min-hyuk. The Athletic said 'Yoon Do-young had an impressive performance in K League 1 last year. He scored one goal and three assists in 19 games. At the U-20 Asian Cup in September, he played in four matches and scored two goals.'"

Like Yang Min-hyuk, he entered the K-League through a `semi-professional contract.' Yang Min-hyuk received a little less attention because he played so well from the opening game and took all the spotlight, but Yoon Do-young also showed his genius at a young age and even made his youngest professional debut. He showed amazing professional adaptability by recording assist in two games. Eventually, the Daejeon club signed a formal professional contract with Yoon Do-young.

EPL clubs such as Brighton and Aston Villa also seem to be interested in Yoon Do-young's genius. In fact, Yoon Do-young's representative is currently in contact with EPL clubs in the UK. The Mirror says Brighton is the leader in the recruitment race, according to sources. However, Yoon Do-young's representatives visited Aston Villa Training Center for a meeting at the beginning of the week. Chelsea and Wolverhampton have also considered signingHe said that behind-the-scenes competition is quite fierce over Yoon Do-young's recruitment.

Yoon Do-young can open a new career early if any team, such as Brighton or Aston Villa, is signed. In addition, the front-runners of Korea's top 10 prospects may face off on the EPL stage. It is a scenario in which Yang Min-hyuk and Yoon Do-young, who are best friends, clash. Attention is focusing on whether Yoon Do-young will be born as another Premier Leaguer.
