Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton has sent a public message of support after Frank Lampard agreed a loan deal for highly rated teenager Yang Min-hyeok to join Coventry City. The move sees the 19-year-old South Korean winger leave his previous loan at Portsmouth and step into a Championship promotion battle under the former Chelsea and England star.

Coventry have secured Yang on loan from Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season, with the deal understood to have been strongly driven by Lampard himself. The manager views Yang as a “high-quality player” who can add creativity, direct running and end product in the final third as the Sky Blues push for a long-awaited return to the Premier League. The club is currently among the Championship leaders but has struggled for goals in recent weeks, prompting a targeted move for attacking reinforcements.

Yang expressed excitement about the switch, highlighting the positive atmosphere at Coventry and Lampard’s clear explanation of how he will be used tactically. He stressed his desire to adapt quickly, contribute with goals and assists, and help the club achieve its promotion ambitions. The step up from a relegation battle at Portsmouth to a promotion-chasing side is seen as a key phase in his development, offering higher-intensity matches and the pressure of a top-of-the-table campaign.

Morton, who knows the demands of Championship football from his own loan experiences away from Liverpool, publicly congratulated Yang on the move and wished him success for the rest of the season. His message underlines the respect Yang has among his fellow young professionals and the wider recognition of Coventry as a strong platform for emerging talents under Lampard’s guidance.

With the addition of Yang and fellow youngster Romain Esse, Lampard believes Coventry now have greater depth and “freshness” in wide areas, which he regards as essential to sustaining a promotion challenge over a long and demanding campaign.
