Tottenham Hotspur winger Yang Min-hyeok has joined Belgian club Westerlo on a season-long loan. The 20-year-old South Korean forward has never made an appearance for Spurs, spending the last 18 months on loan.
What happened?
Yang Min-hyeok has travelled to Belgium to complete his move to Westerlo, with no option to make the move permanent included in the deal. This is the fourth loan spell for the young forward, who has previously played for Queens Park Rangers, Portsmouth, and Coventry City.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
The move will see Yang follow a familiar path for Tottenham players, with Luka Vuskovic and Alfie Devine both spending successful loan spells with Westerlo. The 20-year-old has been capped by South Korea at international level and remains the youngest goalscorer in K-League history.
What comes next?
Yang will now look to make a positive impact at Westerlo, with the Belgian club currently sitting in the Pro League. The move will be a key part of Tottenham's development strategy, with the club looking to give young players valuable experience in the European leagues.
