QUEENS PARK RANGERS are set to borrow Tottenham whizkid Yang Min-hyeok. The South Korean, 18, was signed by the North Londoners from Gangwon in the summer for £3.5million, which was a Korean league record. TRANSFER NEWS LIVE: STAY UP TO DATE WITH ALL THE LATEST MOVES FROM THE JANUARY WINDOW.
But he was allowed to stay until the end of Gangown’s season and only arrived at Spurs in December. He has been an unused sub in three of Tottenham’s games in January, including Premier League defeats to Everton and Leicester plus the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg win over Liverpool.
Now Spurs are ready to let him out on loan to the west side of the capital with QPR. That is so he can get some valuable experience in English football. Tottenham sanctioned the deal despite the fact manager Ange Postecoglou is dealing with a devastating injury crisis that has taken a major toll out of the team's season.
Spurs' injury crisis worsened last week as Dominic Solanke was ruled out for six weeks due to a knee injury. Solanke joined the likes of Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, Timo Werner, Micky Van de Ven, Wilson Odobert, Yves Bissouma, Fraser Forster and Pape Matar Sarr in the physio room.
Therefore, Postecoglou's selection headache will continue on Thursday in the final game of the Europa League's league phase when Tottenham host Elfsborg. SunSport exclusives. Already have these accounts? Don't worry, we've got loads more terrific deals below!.
