Summary 0: 0 between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda (Sport 1)

Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to look for a foreign player for the wing position and one of the names on the list is South Korean Lee Songwu.

Lee plays for St. Troyden and since 2018 he has made 11 appearances for his country.

Lee has a contract with the Belgian team and it seems that if the champion decides to go for it, it will be in the loan deal with a call option.



This is an agile and technical player, who belonged to the youth department of Barcelona in the years 2011-2017, played with players like Marc Cocaria and Oscar Mingsa, excelled and like players who preceded him and played in La Masia, was called "Korean Messi".



Unfortunately for the agile winger, his transfer was investigated by FIFA and turned out to be illegal. Barcelona was punished with an embargo transfer (also because of additional transfers by minors) and was banned from participating in official games until the age of 18.

In the summer of 2017 Lee was sold from Barcelona to Italian side Verona for 1.5 million euros.

He is a partner in 14 Serie A games and even scored the consolation goal in a 4: 1 defeat to Milan.

The following season, after Verona were relegated, he made 23 appearances in Serie B. In the summer of 2019 he was sold from the Italian club to Saint-Troiden, but only partnered in 4 games before the Corona outburst brought an early end to the Belgian league.



This season Lee has already become a more significant player at St. Troyden, with 13 appearances and a double against Antwerp in a 3: 2 loss.

In recent weeks he has again lost his status and in fact his last appearance was on December 12, so he got 22 minutes as a substitute in a loss to Charleroi.



In the South Korean team, Lee Li accumulated 11 appearances, including two in the 2018 World Cup. At a young age, he is considered a big star.

At the Asian Under-16 Championships in 2014, he was crowned the king of goals and the tournament player and in 2017 he was named "Young Player of the Year in Asia".
