The Chief Director of Jeonbuk Hyundai confirmed it in a phone interview with a popular Korean broadcast. Its officially through. If Kim says yes, it will likely happen.
I see he's scored twice for his country already in this Asian Cup. Both near post headers from corners.
He is a "quick-feet" centreback who can catch up on some fast forwards. What I rate about him is his overall all-round capabilities as a defender and his work-rate. He can score headers and I think he can pull them too in the PL because of his overwhelming physique. He runs a lot and fast-react to opponents. He may still lack in accuracy of passing which is my personal thought, but this can be improved in time. He can play in the defensive Midfielder position or sometimes as a right full-back. Added :* He is exempted from national military service after winning gold in Asian Games.

TO deal with Brexit, I honestly think Watford needs foreign investments and attractions. When it comes to South Korea, it is one of the wealthiest nations although just few steps behind England. I agree with you on having more home-grown young lads from England in the team. Its a shame how much Premiership sides spend money like water on foreign signings which turn out to be useless. The source comes from one of the broadcasts channels in Korea with trustworthy status here. They've done an phone interview with the Korean club chief, and quoted his full name. It means they are pretty confident and can ensure its based on true stories.

"Watford have made an offer," revealed general manager Baek Seung-kwon" "I cannot give many details about the deal, but it will be like how Lee Jae-sung [who joined Holsten Kiel in July] went to Germany. "Kim also knows that Watford’s proposal has come in. The player and Watford are in negotiations and he is doing it through his own channels because he is away at the Asian Cup." Nicknamed 'Monster', Kim has been likened in his home country to England defender Harry Maguire due to his strong physical presence and threat from set-pieces. He has won 15 caps for South Korea, though he missed out on the 2018 World Cup with a back injury, and has previously held talks with Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan regarding a transfer.
Doing this deal with Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors FC could mean our players will all be driving Hyundai's next season.
Thanks for the story, Punch, and congratulations on being able to decipher Meridensi's response. I guess you've seen enough on here not to he offended by our special debating style. Foreign signings are always a gamble, but from the clips I like the look of your guy
Very nice bullet header from a Son corner in that vid on foxsports from their match vs China; a promising sign. We could really do with a CB that's good in the air.
If he is actually going to sign for us, we need to know how his name is pronounced properly. I'm guessing it's something like Minge A Kim, is that right?
One of the benefits to signing someone from South Korea is the time zone. They are 9 hours ahead, so when you wake up in the morning there will be loads of updates to read. Looking forward to it.
Well it will certainly increase our image over in South Korea. The only downside is the amount of tourists it will bring. Oh well... There are enough empty seats for them to take up with their selfie sticks
