Coventry City are looking to add depth to Frank Lampard's squad to help them secure promotion to the Premier League
Coventry City have agreed to take Yang Min-hyeok on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano who claims a deal has been ‘agreed today’, one which would see the winger swap a relegation battle with Portsmouth for a promotion campaign with the Sky Blues.
The 19-year-old has spent the first half of the Championship campaign at Fratton Park providing three goals and one assist in 15 league games, mostly on the left of John Mousinho’s team.
The development, which looks increasingly likely, will come as a blow to Mousinho who before Christmas admitted Spurs have the option of terminating the loan but insisted he felt the winger would remain with Pompey.
That now seems like misplaced faith with Yang seemingly set to add to Frank Lampard’s wide options. Ephron Mason-Clark has been first choice when fit, with Brandon Thomas-Asante deputising well in his absence.
However, both players have missed time through injury this season and Lampard needs depth.
The South Korean spent time in the Gangwon FC youth set-up before signing a six-year deal with Tottenham in July 2024, he eventually made the move last January.
He finished off last season with Queens Park Rangers and won his first senior cap against Jordan last March. His second came against Bolivia in November.
This season he has had good periods for Portsmouth but has been displaced by the return to fitness of Josh Murphy and his last start came at Blackburn on December 13 when he was replaced at half-time.
