Kim Kyung-min (28, Kangwon), one of the representatives of the K-League, will change into a Suwon FC uniform that is struggling to stay.
Multiple transfer market officials said on the 4th that Kim Kyung-min has confirmed his joining of Suwon FC. The two clubs have reached an agreement in the form of a complete transfer fee. An official announcement will be made after conducting a medical test for a while,' it said.
It is a transfer that matches the needs of Suwon FC, who wants to strengthen their power, and Kim Kyung-min, who wants to play.
Kim Kyung-min was caught in Suwon FC's radar network, which was searching for offensive resources to fill the gap of ace Andersson, who left the team. It was reported that Kim Kyung-min, who is good at breaking through the side using his fast feet, decided that he would revitalize the team's frustrating side attacks. Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong has been using young resources under the age of 22 as a right-sided striker. Andersson is set to go to Seoul in trade with Willian and Lee Si-young.
Suwon FC, which previously recruited fast wingback Ahn Hyun-bum from Jeonbuk, will build a destructive right-side line that leads to Ahn Hyun-bum and Kim Kyung-min. Willian, who plans to wear Suwon FC uniform in trade with Andersson, is a 'game changer' type that can make a difference in the game by breaking through alone. With the addition of the two, a new type of side attack is expected to be possible.
