[News] Sanga Chasing Korean Young Talent Lee Sang-Ho

According to some Japanese sport newspapers, Sanga has made an offer for young Korean talent Lee Sang-Ho (in the picture). Here is how a Korean friend described him: "[...] pivotal for Ulsan despite his age, running their midfield and providing the creative impetus for their best moves. He was a young talent at the last U-20 world cup, performing at a high level with the likes of Ki Sung-Yong and Lee Chung-Yong. He scores some spectacular goals (volley against Incheon I think during the 2006 or 2007 season) and is very quick and technically gifted."
Here are some of his data:
K-League
2006 -10 games started - 0 goals scored - 1 assist - 4 shots made
2007 - 17 games started - 3 goals scored - 1 assist - 20 shots made
2008 - 12 games started - 3 goals scored - 0 assist - 18 shots made
Korean Cup
2006 - 7 games started - 2 goals scored - 1 assist - 8 shots made
2007 - 5 games started - 1 goal scored - 1 assist - 4 shots made
2008 - 6 games started - 2 goals scored - 0 assist - 10 shots made

Finally, a clip of a goal he recently scored in the U20 World Cup.

Well, I thought that an offensive midfielder was not our priority, but after seeing him, I really hope this deal could go through, and we could have back a Korean flag at Nishikyogoku.

Thanks to the people at Big Soccer's Korean forum for providing the information!
