The 18-year-old arrived in North London earlier this month from K League 1 side Gangwon FC. Expecting him to help Tottenham out of this rot would have been optimistic.
The South Korean talent will leave Spurs to continue developing at Loftus Road.
Yang is a highly regarded prospect. There is a reason why Tottenham took the punt on him. He was named the K League’s Young Player of the Year in 2024 and has represented South Korea at the Under-16 and Under-17 levels.
Despite the injury crisis ravaging Spurs, with 12 players sidelined, the club has opted to send the promising attacker out on loan – in our opinion, a sensible move given the circumstances.
Transitioning from South Korea’s K League to the Premier League is a significant leap. While Yang has been named on the bench for Spurs in recent weeks, manager Ange Postecoglou has not yet handed him a debut, suggesting that he may need further time to adjust to the demands of English football.
A spell at QPR presents the ideal opportunity for Yang to gain valuable first-team experience in a competitive environment. The West London club currently sits 13th in the Championship, unlikely to face relegation yet still within touching distance of a play-off spot.
This move allows Yang to acclimate to the intensity of English football before potentially competing for a place in the Tottenham senior squad next season or beyond.
For an 18-year-old, securing a Championship loan at this stage is a strong indicator of his potential. Spurs fans will be eager to see how he develops over the coming months, with hopes that this experience will prepare him for a future role at the club.
