Yang Min-hyeok (19, QPR) is gaining recognition as a star in the United Kingdom.
The Daily Mail reported, "The jersey bearing Yang Min-hyeok's name has recorded more sales than any other player's at QPR, thanks to the explosive interest from Korean fans. The 19-year-old Korean player has scored two goals in eight starts for QPR."
After joining Tottenham last season and being loaned to the Championship, Yang Min-hyeok started in eight matches and was substituted in six. He played 694 minutes, recording two goals and one assist.
Yang Min-hyeok came on as a substitute in the 19th minute of the second half against Oxford United on April 10, scoring his second league goal. His performance helped QPR win 3-1.
In the additional time of the second half, Yang Min-hyeok quickly penetrated into the penalty box, receiving a pass from Karamoko Dembélé. Yang Min-hyeok's left-footed shot secured a 3-1 lead for QPR, solidifying the victory. He celebrated with a sliding ceremony.
Tottenham Hotspur News noted, "Daniel Levy, chairman of Tottenham, is focusing on Yang Min-hyeok's performance. Yang Min-hyeok has excellent speed and skills. Levy hopes he can succeed as a Korean football icon like Son Heung-min."
Tottenham lifted the curse of not having won a trophy with victory in the UEFA Europa League. Rumors about Son Heung-min's transfer are emerging. Will there be an opportunity for Yang Min-hyeok to return to Tottenham and play alongside Son Heung-min?
