Yang Min-hyeok is on the move again as he continues to please Tottenham Hotspur with his performances away from the club.
Rather than being thrown in at the deep end, Yang Min-hyeok has been allowed a smooth transition since he departed Gangwon for Tottenham Hotspur.
The young Korean was loaned out to QPR last January, where he made 14 appearances in the Championship.
Yang picked up a few minutes at Spurs in pre-season, and he has since played for Portsmouth, where he has registered four goal contributions in 16 matches across all competitions. That was enough to earn the South Korean starlet an upgrade for the second half of the campaign.
Yang Min-hyeok joins Coventry City until the end of the season
Tottenham have now ended Yang’s loan spell at Portsmouth in order to send him on loan to the team who sit top of the Championship.
Yang has officially joined Coventry City on a short-term loan move, and he could make his debut against Stoke City in the FA Cup third round. He becomes the fifth exit of the January window for Tottenham after Brennan Johnson’s permanent sale, and loans for Manor Solomon, Jamie Donley, and Kota Takai.
The 19-year-old will help his new team continue their push for promotion, as they currently sit six points clear at the top of the table.
There could be an opening in the Tottenham team for Yang next season
After three Championship loans, Yang will surely be wanting to try and compete for a first-team spot at Spurs, and this is not an unrealistic scenario if he does well at Coventry.
Brennan Johnson has just left Tottenham, and if no right-wing replacement is signed in January, Yang could be the man to take over in the summer.
However, making a difference at Coventry will be more difficult than performing for a Portsmouth team battling relegation, so this will be Yang’s biggest test yet.
