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.

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.'
