Tottenham’s Yang Min-Hyeok loaned to Portsmouth after QPR spell

Tottenham Hotspur has loaned 19-year-old South Korean winger Yang Min-Hyeok to Portsmouth for the 2025/26 season, marking his second loan spell in the English Championship after a successful stint with QPR where he scored twice in 14 appearances. Yang joined Tottenham in January 2025 from K League side Gangwon FC, where he was named the Young Player of the Year, and has also represented South Korea at various youth levels and made his senior international debut in March 2025. Portsmouth manager John Mousinho praised Yang as a highly rated prospect who plays with directness and excitement, viewing the loan as a vital stage in his development. Tottenham’s decision to loan Yang again has drawn some surprise, particularly from fans of QPR, where he had ample game time, but club insiders believe the move to Portsmouth offers a new opportunity for growth and adaptation to English football culture. Tottenham star Heung-min Son recently offered Yang advice to focus on playing without overthinking, highlighting the club’s support for his progression. Yang’s loan to Portsmouth reflects Tottenham’s ongoing strategy of developing young talent through Championship loans alongside other Spurs youngsters gaining experience elsewhere.
