The South Korean international moved from K-League side Gangwon FC to join Tottenham in January and instantly went on loan to Championship side Queens Park Rangers, where he scored twice in 14 games during the second half of last season. The Lilywhites decided to loan him out to Portsmouth in the summer, and after a slow start to life on the south coast, Yang Min-hyeok is starting to show his true qualities.

Before the win over Boro, he scored in the 1-1 draw with Watford last week. After finding his feet, Yang has started three consecutive games for Pompey.
