Birmingham City set to announce the signing of long time target after…

Paik Seung-ho, a South Korean international, has signed a permanent contract with Birmingham City after defeating Sunderland in the transfer window.

An announcement is expected in the next few hours.

Following manager Tony Mowbray’s confirmation that a deal for Seung-ho was almost finalized, the Blues are anticipated to make an announcement regarding their second January acquisition soon. The 26-year-old, who is primarily a central midfielder but can play almost anywhere except defense, is expected to provide Birmingham an advantage because of his versatility.

Seung-ho received offers from Sunderland, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga clubs, and other teams, but he chose to sign with Birmingham. The 15-time South Korea international, who turned into a national hero when he scored against Brazil at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, is reported to have found the proposal to be highly compelling.

Following the FA Cup loss 3-0 at Leicester City, Mowbray stated to Birmingham Mail, “I would hope he would be in this week some time.” “Let us observe and wait. We are hoping he can provide us with some quality and assistance, as well as an alternative perspective to what we now have.

“He plays forward, can shoot long-range, makes accurate passes, and runs all day. I have previously overseen South Korean employees, and they are truly remarkable people who strive hard, pay attention, and aspire to improve. We anticipate his arrival and hope it will enable us to proceed,” Mowbray went on.
