Tottenham award Yang Min-hyeok with Championship upgrade at James Maddison’s old team
Yang Min-hyeok has been getting on well at Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur believe he is now ready for a greater challenge.
It has only been a year since Yang Min-hyeok officially joined Tottenham Hotspur, but he has already built up plenty of experience in English football.
The Korean spent the second half of last season on loan at QPR, played for Spurs in pre-season and then joined Portsmouth on a temporary basis.
Yang has been playing well for the Championship strugglers and he recently scored with the last kick of the game to help his team seal a 2-1 victory over Charlton Athletic.
Tottenham secure a third loan for Yang Min-hyeok
Thanks to his performances for Portsmouth, Spurs have awarded Yang with a favourable loan move until the end of the season.
The 19-year-old will depart his current team who sit just one point above relegation and join Coventry City, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Coventry are top of the Championship by comfortable margins and Yang will continue to help them push for promotion to the Premier League, with a deal between the clubs agreed today.
Yang must avoid suffering the same fate as other Spurs youngsters
Although Yang has enjoyed his time at Portsmouth, it will be harder to make an impact at a team who are already thriving in the Championship.
There have already been instances of Tottenham sending young players out on loan only for them to face difficulties. Mikey Moore had to endure a tough start at Rangers and Jamie Donley departed Stoke City after a disastrous spell which had to be cut short.
This is a big move for Yang and he must show he has what it takes to start for a team who have been doing very well with the players they already possess.
