Blog Article
Seongnam FC has strengthened its side's offense by recruiting Pohang Steelers striker Kim Bum-soo on loan. It is a condition to face defender Cho Sung-wook until this season.
Kim, who Seongnam announced on Monday, started his career as a member of the K5 league Dongducheon One Team in 2020, and then played for the K7 league TDC and the K4 league Seoul Jungrang Football Team. Since then, he attracted attention by joining the Jeju United in the K-League 1 in 2022. In 2023, he moved to the Ansan Greeners and served as the team's ace for two seasons. Ahead of this season, he joined the Pohang Steelers through a free agent. Currently, he has seven goals and seven assists in 76 K-League matches.
In particular, the team has drawn attention for its unique history of reaching the K League 1 stage through the K7 and K5 leagues. The process has been nicknamed "K-body" as it resembles Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, who started in the eighth division of England and entered the Premier League.
Kim Bum-soo is considered to be a strong player in dribbling using fast speed. In addition, as he has already played in K League 2, he is expected to quickly melt into the team's power due to his high understanding of the league and low burden of adaptation.
Seongnam FC explained the background of the recruitment, saying, "Kim Bum-soo is a player who can show a threat to the opponent's defense by showing excellent mobility and penetration in counterattacks," adding, "In particular, we expect it to be a great addition to the team's power by providing various attack options by freely moving between the left and right sides."
Kim Bum-soo, who expressed expectations for the new challenge, said, "I'm happy to play for a team with a long history of Seongnam FC," adding, "I'll adapt quickly based on my experience in K League 2 and make my best use of it so that the team can perform well." 스포츠토토
