Yang Min-hyuk went on loan to QPR in a surprise move. Behind it is Tottenham's consideration and long-term plan that cares about him.
Tottenham officially announced Yang Min-hyuk's loan from QPR on the afternoon of the 29th (local time). Play in QPR until the end of this season. It was a sudden decision.
Tottenham's worries were huge. Initially, Tottenham tried to appoint Yang Min-hyuk. Since arriving in London, my adjustment has been smooth. I had high expectations from the team. I was going to melt into the team by letting them participate little by little. He also showed good performance in team training. It was a moment to establish itself as a good enough option for offense.
However, he strongly wanted Yang Min-hyuk at QPR. Currently, QPR ranks 13th in the championship. It's 38 points. There is only six points difference from the sixth-ranked Middlesbrough (44 points) that can participate in the playoffs.West Bromwich, ranked fifth, also has 44 points. You can catch up enough if you get a game or two. To this end, it was necessary to reinforce the attack. Negotiated with Tottenham and strongly wanted Yang Min-hyuk. It was highly appreciated that he scored 12 goals and 5 assists in the K League. On top of that, his ability to digest both left and right sides was also well-received.

It wasn't just QPR. Six to seven teams in England wanted to rent Yang Min-hyuk. There were teams from overseas as well. That's how much he recognized Yang Min-hyuk, and there were many teams he wanted.
Tottenham struggled. For now, I thought it would be better to let Yang Min-hyuk play more. Rather than playing a limited time at Tottenham, he decided to increase his performance by allowing him to gain experience in the championship as young as he is.
Following Harry Kane's case. Kane went on loan at the age of 18 to Leighton Orient (then part three). At the age of 19, he was loaned to second-tier Millwall and Norwich City to gain experience. In 2013, when he was 20, he moved to Leicester City on loan. By gaining experience in the lower leagues, he has solidified his foundation as the top goalscorer.
Considering all the situations, I decided to send Yang Min-hyuk on a lease. QPR was a good choice. On top of that, QPR's training ground or home stadium is in London. It's a situation where you don't have to move your living base. It's made the best choice in a number of ways.
