Yang Min-hyeok has been speaking about the advice Heung-min Son gave him before he headed out on loan to Queens Park Rangers.
Spurs’ sporting director Johan Lange is hopeful Yang will be ready next season following the conclusion of his loan spell in the west of the capital.
Yang, who has been compared to Adama Traore, has come off the bench in both of QPR’s matches since his arrival and has impressed in games against Millwall and Blackburn Rovers.
Now, the winger has been discussing his time in England so far and the help that Tottenham’s captain, Son, has given him since leaving South Korea.
What Heung-min Son told Yang Min-hyeok before leaving Tottenham
Yang Min-hyeok has revealed that Son Heung-min has offered him a fair amount of help since moving to England in December.
Yang has already spent a lot of time with the 32-year-old during his spell with the national team and now at Tottenham.
The teenager claims that Son told him to use his time at Loftus Road wisely and try to learn as much as possible about English football.
Yang told Shoot for Love: “Heung-min Son and I naturally spent a lot of time together as teammates – living together, eating meals after training, and always going to the cold bath together.
“As a senior on the team, he was a huge help to me, especially being in a foreign country. When I was set to go on loan, he told me to stay injury-free, gain as much experience as possible, and come back stronger.”
How has Yang Min-hyeok done in his first two QPR matches?
Yang has been given just 38 minutes of action so far in English football after coming off the bench in QPR’s last two fixtures.
The 18-year-old made his debut in the rather hostile environment that is Millwall away before coming off the bench to help his team find the winning goal at home to Blackburn Rovers.
The South Korean international will be hoping to break into the team in the near future as he looks to impress during his six-month spell in West London.
