Anyone know much about the lad? Interesting he is from North Korea. Could imagine it being difficult politically. (Perhaps not if he already plays in italy)

 

[Hakkz]

No.

Sounds like a legit talent but I agree on the difficulty of making it work, politically. Really good article on him:

He is a good player. However, Son is currently the football god in south korea. I am not sure whether this move would affect Son or not

Good find. Enjoyed reading that. I particularly enjoyed "who is Gerrard?". Albeit it has dark connotations of the autocratic world.

Didn't the owner of his club say we haven't shown any interest only juventus have?

 

[eddiev14]

Kwan song, he’s only got kwan song!

Sorry, there’s a better one in there i’m sure...

Yes, they’ve already shown their han...

I doubt it would impact Son. But it might be that the North Koreans wouldn't let him sign if son is there? Most countries wouldn't care but in NK's case? Perhaps.

He likes going Solo....

North Korea is ours...

This article lays out a lot of the reasons we shouldn't sign him, including the fact a chunk of his salary would be funding North Korea's military

Except it's not a "fact" that his wages are funding the North Korean military at all.

Not a fact, but very likely.

Should be avoided nonetheless.

If only they'd make this song and dance when Chelsea sign the likes of Marcos Alonso.
