Portsmouth have signed teenage winger Yang Min-hyeok on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

The 19-year-old moved from K-League side Gangwon to join Spurs in January and instantly went on loan to fellow Championship side QPR, where he scored twice in 14 games during the second half of last season.

Yang also represented South Korea at the Under-17s World Cup and won his first senior international cap in March.

"Yang was an extremely highly rated player when he first came over to join Spurs in January," Portsmouth manager John Mousinho said.

"We believe he's a real prospect and know that Tottenham think highly of him, so this is the next part of his development.

"He's direct and exciting in the way that he plays and can really help us achieve what we're looking for this season."
