'Minhyuk, happy birthday!'
Tottenham Hotspur never forgot Yang Min-hyuk (19). Although he is playing on loan to the Queens Park Rangers in the Championship (second division), he clearly left the message that `Yang Min-hyuk is our player.' Tottenham sent a congratulatory message on Yang Min-hyuk's 19th birthday.
The Tottenham club celebrated Yang Min-hyuk's birthday on the 16th (Korea time) through the club's official website and SNS. He posted a picture of Yang Min-hyuk wearing a Tottenham uniform with the words "'Happy birthday, Yang!"
Born on April 16, 2006, Yang Min-hyuk celebrated his 19th birthday on this day. Yang Min-hyuk, who made his professional debut by signing a semi-professional contract with K League 1 Gangwon FC last year, made his sensational debut by playing from the opening game and recording one assist. Since then, Yang Min-hyuk has quickly established himself as the 'best hit product produced by Kangwon FC'.
In the end, Yang Min-hyuk, who played in 38 K-League games with 12 goals and 6 assists, had his best debut season, including being selected for the K-League 1 Young Player Award and the Best 11.
This performance quickly caught the eye of Tottenham, which was bent on collecting the top 10 promising players. Tottenham signed Yang Min-hyuk early in July last year and spent the rest of the season at Gangwon FC on a re-lease basis. Tottenham expressed high expectations, even instructing them to come to England quickly in December after the end of the season. Yang Min-hyuk eventually officially joined Tottenham from the UK.

However, he failed to make his EPL debut, which he had expected. After Yang Min-hyuk joined the team's training, coach Enze Postecoglou said that Yang Min-hyuk's level is not enough to make his EPL debut. In the end, Yang Min-hyuk was loaned to Championship QPR at the end of January and will play the rest of the season. QPR is also a team that Park Ji-sung played in the last years of his EPL career in the past.

After renting QPR, Yang Min-hyuk was given many opportunities to play and steadily accumulated experience. So far, he has played in 12 games (6 starts), scoring two goals and one assist, showing his growth little by little. As a result, the British media, which was once critical of Yang Min-hyuk's ability, gradually came to evaluate him positively.
British media outlet West London Sports said Yang Min-hyuk was sluggish in the 40th round against Cardiff City "Yang Min-hyuk was sluggish, easily losing the ball several times before the replacement." With this kind of performance, I'm not even fit to play in the championship" left a harsh comment.
However, Yang Min-hyuk was immediately replaced in the second half against Oxford United in the 41st round and sealed the victory with his second goal in the league. West London Sports then immediately revised the assessment. The media outlet scored a goal with a really good shot. Although his performance has been sluggish recently, he played a great cameo", he commented.

Lewis Moyer, a QPR critic, then said in an interview with the British Football League World on the 16th that `I thought Yang Min-hyuk was a really good player from the time he joined QPR and watched the first game. "A young player with tremendous talent. He is also a teenager who is new to the English stage. It's natural that it takes time to get used to it," he said, leaving a warm comment.
At this point, it is essential for Yang Min-hyuk to accumulate experience through rental life. However, once they have completed some growth, they are likely to return to Tottenham and demonstrate their competitiveness. His talent is certain. Tottenham is also expecting Yang Min-hyuk's growth for this reason.
