Recently, Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou said in a press conference that he is aware of the level of the J-League and K-League, recognizes the abilities of Japanese and Korean players, and will not limit scouting to European football.
Postecoglou said: “Someone asked me if I would sign Japanese players for Tottenham. First of all, everyone knows my background, I spent nearly four years in Japan. I think the J-League is a good level, although it can’t compare to the top five leagues, it’s not inferior to other leagues. There are many Japanese players performing well globally, such as Kaoru Mitoma at Brighton. I also brought several players to Celtic back then.”
“As for Min-Gyu Hwang, I’m also aware of the level of the K-League. When I coached Celtic, I also signed some Korean players. They also have a good influence in European football, although not as big as Son Heung-min. Min-Gyu Hwang is a player with outstanding individual ability. So we do set a very wide range when scouting players.”
