from Daejeon Hana Citizen on 1 July on a deal until June 2030, and is expected to go out on loan next season
Brighton & Hove Albion have agreed to sign winger Yoon Doyoung from South Korean club Daejeon Hana Citizen on 1 July.
The 18-year-old winger joins on a deal until June 2030 and is set to become the 16th South Korean player to join the Premier League. He is expected to go out on loan in 2025/26.
Brighton confirmed the arrival of South Korean talent Yoon Doyoung from club Daejeon Hana Citizen for a reported fee of 2m.
Albion’s technical director David Weir described the winger as “one of the best” young talents in the Korean League and said they will find a “suitable loan for the new arrival next season.”
Brighton have enjoyed success in the Asian market before with Kaoru Mitoma, while likes of Simon Adingra, Yasin Ayari, Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister and Deniz Undav all signed, performed well on loan before making their mark on the Brighton first team. Undav, Caicedo, Mac Allister have all since moved on for significant transfer fees.
Doyoung looks to be a player with great potential and Brighton have shown in the past how suitable loans, followed by chances in the first team, can help them thrive in the Premier League and increase transfer value. And remember, being sent on loan to Belgium is not always a bad thing!
Do you think Yoon Doyoung will follow in the footsteps of Brighton's successful Asian signings like Kaoru Mitoma, or do you expect him to take a different path?
