Newcastle Man'Park Seung-soo (18) is expected to join the Korean tour.

On the 24th (Korea time), Newcastle United recruited winger Park Seung-soo, who played for Suwon Samsung, through its official channel' announced. The contract period was not disclosed. Instead of joining Newcastle's first team immediately, Park Seung-soo will join the U-21 team to adjust to the local area.

Park Seung-soo said on Newcastle SNS, "'Short-term goal is to show good performances and make a quick debut.'" `The long-term goal is to become the best player in the Premier League.' Steve Harper, the club's youth director, said, `Park Seung-soo has great potential and is an interesting talent.' `Although he is young, he has matured on the professional stage. We are pleased to have joined our club."




Park Seung-soo, who became the youngest semi-professional player in K-League history at the age of 16 in 2023, broke the youngest offensive point in the history of the Korea Cup, the youngest participation in K-League 2, and the youngest score ever in K-League history. It has gained the attention of all of Europe. Nearly 10 teams have shown interest in him, including Bayern Munich, Salzburg, Hoffenheim, Southampton, Grashofer, Valencia, Frankfurt and Marseille.

The destination was compressed into Newcastle and Mitwillan. Suwon also allowed Park Seung-soo to go to Europe, and negotiations accelerated. Park's final choice was Newcastle. I couldn't give up on advancing to the English Premier League (EPL), which was my dream. Park Seung-soo's agent, FS Corporation, confirmed his trip to Newcastle through careful negotiations. Park Seung-soo left for England on the night of the 18th, arrived in Newcastle, conducted medical tests, and signed immediately. He then started the schedule by watching Newcastle's preseason games.

Park Seung-soo recently followed the lineage of the teenage K Leaguer who went straight to the EPL, which led to Kim Ji-soo (Brentford), Yang Min-hyuk (Tottenham), and Yoon Do-young (Brighton). In particular, Park Seung-soo is all the more meaningful in that he succeeded in advancing to the EPL, the world's best stage, with only 'pure talent' without ever stepping on the K League 1 stage. Park's K-League 2 record is one goal and two assists in 25 games.




A lot of attention was paid to Park Seung-soo's future moves, who became his 20th Premier Leaguer. It looks like he will join the U-18 team for now. It is more different from Yang Min-hyuk and Yoon Do-young, who are on loan. Newcastle local media outlet Jordy Boots Voice'Park Seung-soo is expected to join the Newcastle Under-18 team in the first season. Park Seung-soo is one of several young players who have joined Newcastle over the past year. The players who joined in January also got off to a good start with the U-18 team. They will soon be evaluated to be ready to join the first team through loan, and in Park Seung-soo's case, Newcastle seems to have a different plan.

Finally, Park Seung-soo can also gain experience through a loan in his first season in Europe, but plans are also raised to remain at Newcastle and grow into a club-building player for three years. If he follows this route, Park can be of great help in registering Newcastle's UEFA club competition players in the future. It can be interpreted as an intention to foster the club in accordance with the home-grown and team-friendly system.

The EPL must have players who have trained in the UK for more than three years before the age of 21. Eight out of 25 players in the squad must be homegrown players. The UEFA club competition requires registration not only of home-grown but also of team-grown qualified players who have grown in non-British teams. Park Seung-soo can qualify for home-grown and team-grown qualifications before the age of 21.




Park Seung-soo is increasingly likely to go to Korea. Newcastle will play Team K League on July 30 and Tottenham on August 3 in Korea this summer. Park Seung-soo is currently on the Newcastle list for Singapore, but he is expected to join the following Korean tour. The NUFC feed, which mainly reports on Newcastle, said, `Park Seung-soo is missing from the first list, but he is scheduled to come to Korea for the second consecutive round of the Korean tour.'

In fact, in an interview with Newcastle's media, Park talked about returning to Korea and playing with Newcastle. If Park hadn't planned to make his debut in his home country with his new teammates, the club wouldn't have put this part in the interview,' he said, adding that `Newcastle can't let this promotional opportunity slip away, as you can see from Son's heroic status at Tottenham, how many Korean fans there are.'

Finally, NUFC said 'Park Seung-soo is full of confidence. "It can be a good thing to play in the pre-season because we are aiming to enter the Newcastle first team. There is no reason why Park Seung-soo should not get a chance to play because he likes to give young players a chance in the pre-season." In other words, if Park Seung-soo shows sufficient competitiveness, the timing of his debut in the first division could be faster.
