Yang Min-hyeok Leaves Queens Park Rangers on Loan
Queens Park Rangers' South Korean forward Yang Min-hyeok has joined Belgian Pro League side KVC Westerlo on a season-long loan deal. The 20-year-old has made 14 league appearances and scored two goals for QPR.
Loan Spells Abound for Yang Min-hyeok
Yang Min-hyeok has had three separate loans since moving to England, all with Championship clubs. In January 2025, he joined Queens Park Rangers for six months, making 14 league appearances and scoring two goals. Last season, a loan to Portsmouth was ended prematurely, after 14 league appearances and three goals, with Yang then moving to Coventry City, who would be promoted under head coach Frank Lampard, but for whom he played just 29 combined minutes in six months.
A Familiar Path for Tottenham Players
The move to Belgium sees Yang, who has been capped by South Korea at international level and who remains the youngest goalscorer in K-League history, follow a familiar path for Tottenham players. Luka Vuskovic and Alfie Devine, both of whom were sold by Spurs this summer, to Brighton & Hove Albion and Preston North End respectively, each spent successful loan spells with Westerlo as part of their development.
What Comes Next for Queens Park Rangers?
As Queens Park Rangers look to strengthen their squad, the departure of Yang Min-hyeok may signal a new era for the Championship club. With the loan window still open, fans will be eagerly awaiting any further developments in the transfer market.
