Despite Spurs’ hopes for his long-term development, Tottenham appear ready to send the 19‑year‑old out on loan again, this time to Fratton Park, following a mixed period at QPR last season, where he featured in 14 Championship matches, scoring twice and laying on one assist
Yang initially arrived at Tottenham in January 2025, after his sensational breakout campaign with Gangwon FC that yielded 12 goals and 6 assists in 38 games, earning him the K League Young Player of the Year and a place in the Best XI. His adaptation phase continued through his loan with QPR, where he impressed teammates and fans alike—earning plaudits for his first start assist against Derby County, which marked a standout moment in his early English career. However he struggled for consistency and found regular minutes hard to come by as QPR battled for form and stability. The loan spell offered flashes of potential but ultimately left more to be desired from both club and player perspectives.
Now, with a fresh opportunity at Portsmouth, Yang will be hoping for a more settled and productive campaign under John Mousinho, who has been tracking the tricky winger for several months. Known for his pace, two-footed dribbling, and direct attacking style, Yang is expected to provide a dynamic option on either wing as Pompey prepare to push up the league table.
