Will Lee Hyun-joo, one of Korea's top prospects, be the ace of Hanover 96 in the 2024-2025 season.

Bayern Munich decided to extend its contract with promising midfielder Lee Hyun-joo until 2027 on its official website on the 23rd of last month (Korea time) and send Lee Hyun-joo on loan for another season to Bundesliga 2 in Germany. Lee Hyun-joo, who played 31 games for SV Behen Wiesbaden in the 2023-2024 season, will spend the next season at Hanover 96, the release said.

Lee Hyun-joo received Pohang's priority nomination after passing through Pohang Steel Middle School and Pohang Steel High School, which are affiliated with Pohang Steelers' youth. Lee Hyun-joo could have grown up in Pohang and challenged the K-League stage, but he chose a more difficult path. He immediately knocked on the door of Europe and, surprisingly, left on loan at Bayern's offer.

Bayern decided to completely recruit Lee Hyun-joo after watching his potential. It was evidence that Lee Hyun-joo was recognized for her potential by the best team in the world. Lee Hyun-joo, who played in Bayern's second division, left on loan from last season. Lee Hyun-joo, who headed to Visbaden to gain experience in the professional league, showed good performance as the main player although his team was demoted.

Bayern re-signed Lee Hyun-joo and allowed Hanover to rent so that it can grow further. Hanover is on loan, but if Lee Hyun-joo shows a good performance, he brought the player on the condition that he can even completely recruit him.

Hanover has different expectations for Lee Hyun-joo. Lee Hyun-joo, who participated in the Hanover preseason, immediately showed good performance in practice games. Lee Hyun-joo, who came out as a substitute in the second half against the third-division team, was recognized by coach Stefan Laitl Hanover. According to Germany's Sport Bild, Leitle said `Lee Hyun-joo is strong in half-space. It's gotten a little more interesting."

Sport Bild expressed strong expectations for Lee Hyun-joo, saying, `The smallest is the greatest hope.' The media is 'Lee Hyun-joo is 172cm, the smallest in the team. After Luis Shayup and Sebastian Ernst's departure, he said, "He is a player who will make the attack more unpredictable.' He again noted Hanover's evaluation of Lee Hyun-joo.

At the time of Lee Hyun-joo's announcement, sports director Marcus Mann Hanover said, `Lee is an exciting young player who can expand his options in midfielder. He has good speed, is technically well trained and has a high level of football intelligence. It has good decisiveness and has the ability to move forward even in a small space. He also praised the midfielder, saying, "I can score as a midfielder."

If Lee Hyun-joo plays an active role in the upcoming season and leads Hanover to promotion to the German Bundesliga, he will receive tremendous attention. Lee Hyun-joo is growing through the Korean national team by age. Depending on how he performs at Hanover, he can also be called by the national team.
