Tottenham’s young players out on loan continue to shine wherever they go.

It’s no secret that Spurs invest in rising stars, even if their integration into the first team takes a little longer.

One prime example of a talented yet young star is Lucas Bergvall, the 19-year-old midfielder who has quickly earned the trust of manager Ange Postecoglou.

Since his arrival, he has been incorporated into the squad and is valued as one of Tottenham’s key players.

However, not all young talents follow the same path. Perhaps because he is still in the early stages of his development, the 18-year-old player Yang Min-Hyeok has been sent on loan to Queens Park Rangers.

According to recent reports, he may have to wait a bit longer before making his mark in North London.

Speaking to Tottenham News, John Wenham suggested that it wouldn’t be surprising if Yang remained on loan with QPR for another season.

"Yang got his first assist for QPR, which was good to see," Wenham said. "Therefore, I wouldn’t be surprised, or against, him remaining with QPR on loan again next season.

"I could see him becoming one of the regular wingers at the club. QPR have always relied on talented wingers, it is a big part of how they play. As a result, he would get plenty of opportunities there and see a lot of the ball."

Although Spurs supporters were eager to see how the South Korean would develop within the squad, Yang was loaned out before he had the chance to prove himself.

Ange Postecoglou opts to give him time to settle

This decision sparked debate among fans—some believed it was the right move, while others questioned it, especially given Tottenham’s long list of injuries and the need to cover key positions.

A month ago, Ange Postecoglou addressed Yang Min-Hyeok’s situation: "He’s very young, and we feel he needs time to settle."

With several key players sidelined due to injury, Tottenham have taken a cautious approach with their young prospects.

Postecoglou added, "With our current situation, the last thing I want to do is throw in another young player. We’ve got enough that we’re exposing, and they’re doing awfully well."
