Yang Min-hyuk found a bird nest.

The destination is the Queens Park Rangers (QPR), where Park Ji-sung and Yoon Seok-young played in the past. QPR said on its official channel on the 30th (Korea time) that it is pleased to confirm Yang Min-hyuk's lease at Tottenham Hotspur. He then said he will stay at QPR for the rest of the 2024-2025 season. Yang Min-hyuk will wear No. 47 uniform.

Yang Min-hyuk said, `I'm happy to join QPR. I will do my best for this team." "I have great memories of Korean legend Park Ji-sung who played here. I really wanted to play here, and I want to play regularly every game."




Yang Min-hyuk once said, `When I first made my professional debut in Korea, I was full of desire to play in a professional league"I've come to England now, and I'm still hungry for success." "It is a great pleasure to join QPR and I will do my best every season for the victory of the team and the happiness of the fans."I'm ready to run at any time."

Christian Nouri, CEO of QPR, said "We are pleased to introduce Yang Min-hyuk to QPR and provide him with the opportunity to play in English football for the first time." Yang Min-hyuk is one of the world's top prospects who received attention from many elite clubs before moving to Tottenham. QPR has a recent history of working with promising Korean talents. We are happy to write a new chapter in the story with Yang Min-hyuk."

Yang Min-hyuk confirmed his trip to Tottenham Hotspur last summer. Yang Min-hyuk, who wore a Gangwon FC uniform as a semi-professional contract, made a strong impression from the pre-season and entered the first-team stage. The 17-year-old Yang Min-hyuk made the opening roster, setting a record of being the youngest debut in Gangwon-do, and starting splendidly by scoring an offensive point from his debut. Nicknamed the `High School Winger', Yang Min-hyuk continued his amazing performance afterwards.




He played in the foreground and scored 12 goals and 6 assists. He was also listed on the A national team. He failed to win the MVP award, but won the Young Player Award and the Best 11. Big clubs called for the amazing performance of the 17-year-old prospect, and Tottenham eventually became the winner of catching Yang Min-hyuk. Tottenham had Yang Min-hyuk by shooting the club's 18-year-old record and the highest transfer fee to K-League Europe (estimated 4 million euros, about 6 billion won). Tottenham announced that Yang Min-hyuk will join the team in January 2025 after being loaned to his current team, Gangwon, and playing until the end of this year. Yang Min-hyuk, who was listed as a member of the K League All-Star, even finished greeting in advance through a friendly match against Tottenham in Coupang Play.

Tottenham asked Yang Min-hyuk, who finished his debut season, to join them early. It was originally scheduled to join in January 2025, but it moved to the UK faster than planned. It was because of Tottenham's team situation. Starting with Wilson O'Dober, who was ambitiously recruited this season, virtually out of the season, Hishalisson also rarely played due to frequent injuries. Above all, Son Heung-min's physical condition was uncertain. Son Heung-min, who played without injury every season, was often absent due to frequent injuries. Timo Werner and Mikey Moore, who were called Son Heung-min's replacements, did not perform as well as expected.

Tottenham, who had to play the hell schedule, called Yang Min-hyuk early. Therefore, there was a hopeful prospect that Yang Min-hyuk could quickly seize the opportunity. Yang Min-hyuk, who flew to London on the 16th of last month, learned the atmosphere of the match against Manchester United on the 20th when Tottenham Captain Son Heung-min scored a fantastic corner kick goal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and appeared at Tottenham Training Center's Hotspur Way on the 21st. Tottenham released a photo of their first training session wearing a team training suit on social media. The club said, `Welcome to Tottenham, Yang Min-hyuk! Our new recruit arrived on the Hotspur Way this week ahead of joining on January 1st.




Yang Min-hyuk conducted basic training alone, such as cycling, stretching, and jumping. What caught the eye was the look of a man, Son Heung-min, behind Yang Min-hyuk, who was training in jumping. Son Heung-min looked at Yang Min-hyuk, who was training, with a happy look on his face. Considering the 14-year age difference, it is close to 'Uncle Smile'.

However, there was a difficult atmosphere from the beginning. Asked about Yang Min-hyuk at a pre-press conference ahead of the match against Newcastle on the 3rd, coach Enze Postecoglou said, `There is no clear plan. I don't want to make my debut too much, saying, "Adaptation is the first thing." Then "Yang Min-hyuk is still young. He came from the other side of the world, a level difference from where he has to run. 'Sonny (Son Heung-min)' will help him adjust to the situation,' he added. Domestic media were in a frenzy that Postecoglou had undermined the K-League and Yang Min-hyuk.

Yang Min-hyuk has been waiting calmly for his debut. He completed all work to participate in the game, including visa, profile photo, and uniform numbering amid unfounded rumors such as 'ghost story'. Yang Min-hyuk, who received No. 18, was listed for the first time after entering England in the first leg of the League Cup semifinals against Liverpool on the 9th. Analysts continued that he is likely to play in the FA Cup against Tamworth. As Tamworth is a fifth-division team, it is highly likely to rotate as a young resource. However, Coach Postecoglou pulled out the main lineup, and Yang Min-hyuk couldn't even sit on the bench.

Since then, stories have begun to emerge about Yang Min-hyuk's future. Rumors of a lease have raised their heads. British Football London reporter Alasdier Gold, who is familiar with Tottenham's news, reportedly said on the 27th that Postecoglou will remain in his current position. Tottenham will try to get at least one player for him in a week. 'The fact that he had to put in a 17-year-old boy and a player not used by the club for two and a half years to change the course of the game says everything about the situation now.

As for the fact that Yang Min-hyuk was not chosen 'Yang Min-hyuk does not appear to be an option right away. This tells us a lot that the club's recruitment policy is for the future rather than now. Yang Min-hyuk said, 'If Tottenham recruits a new striker and an appropriate growth destination emerges, it could be loaned out in the January transfer market. Fans then say Postecoglou should put in more young players, but they have not yet reached the level of the English Premier League (EPL) beyond Moore, and that is likely to be the case right now. You have to be an outstanding teenager to play in the EPL. Archie Gray and Lucas Beribal are outstanding prospects with experience in the European lower leagues.

Specific destinations were also discussed. It was QPR. Gold said on social media on the 29th that `Yang Min-hyuk will join QPR today' and explained `It is an opportunity for Yang Min-hyuk to experience the speed and physical characteristics of English football at a lower level, which means he is confident Tottenham will be able to recruit a striker in the next few days.'

Even Fabrizio Romano, one of the most prestigious players in the European soccer transfer market, came forward. He said on social media that `reportedly three clubs showed interest, and Yang Min-hyuk accepted QPR as a rental destination.'

In the end, Yang Min-hyuk ended up wearing a QPR uniform. Yang Min-hyuk calmly adapted to the British stage at QPR. It is difficult to get a chance at Tottenham, where the fire has fallen coldly. Tottenham are now on the verge of relegation. Postecoglou's future is also uncertain. It is difficult to calmly give a chance to promising Yang Min-hyuk. Tottenham are looking for a rebound to recruit new players. The injured are also returning. Hishalisson has already returned and scored consecutive goals, and O'Bour is also set to return.

It is different in QPR. Yang Min-hyuk, who has not yet made his UK debut, can at least get a chance. You can learn how English football is. QPR is based in London, so it is easy to adapt. If you show a good performance here, you can get a chance at Tottenham again. There is already Harry Kane's case. Kane, a former Tottenham youth player, returned to Tottenham after a loan spell at Leyton Orient, Millwall, Norwich City and Leicester City, and has been a top striker for a long time.
