Pohang Steelers will take a new leap with Ki Sung -yong.

Pohang recruited Ki Sung -yong and strengthened its midfield power. Ki Sung -yong joined FC Seoul in the 2006 season and worked until the 2009 season and emerged as the best prospect of the K -League. Recognized for his skills, he moved to Celtic FC (Scotland) in 2010 and entered the European stage.

He also played 110 A -match games as a core midfielder for the soccer team, and left the FIFA World Cup three consecutive times (2010, 2014, 2018), the 2012 London Olympic bronze medal, and the 2015 Asian Cup runner -up.

Ki Sung -yong, with its economic coordination, wide field of view, and accurate forward pass, is attracting attention as a resource to upgrade Pohang Steelers’ buildup. His strengths, such as ball ownership, long pass, and soccer intelligence, are expected to be a great strength to make Pohang’s midfield more solid.
