Will Lee Kang-in (22, Paris Saint-Germain) play in the English Premier League someday? Less than half a year after his transfer to PSG, news about EPL came out.
“PSG’s 22-year-old Korean player Lee Kang-in is drawing attention from EPL clubs,” Ekrem Konur, a transfer market expert, said on social media (SNS) on the 12th (Korea time). Reporter Conur is one of the experts who mainly deal with the news of the transfer of European football.

However, Lee Kang-in received attention from many clubs even before the PSG transfer. In particular, Aston Villa led by Unai Emery and Newcastle United led by Eddie Howe are reportedly interested in recruiting Lee Kang-in.
If reporter Connor’s claim is true, there is a possibility that teams that have put Lee Kang-in as a candidate for recruitment in the past are still showing interest. Or, a new team that has not been mentioned as a destination for Lee Kang-in may have suddenly shown interest.
Of course, even if a team that wants Lee Kang-in appears, the possibility of moving the team is very small. This is because Lee Kang-in moved to PSG this summer. Moreover, the contract with PSG expires in the summer of 2028.
EPL’s interest itself is good news for Lee Kang-in. This is because some EPL clubs judged that Lee Kang-in could be competitive enough on the English stage.
Lee Kang-in, who left Mallorca this summer and wore a big club PSG uniform, has smoothly adapted to the French stage. He scored his debut goal in the UEFA Champions League group stage match against AC Milan (Italy) in October, and scored a goal and helped in French League 1.
He is trusted by PSG coach Luis Enrique despite his tight schedule between France and Korea, including the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and A-match. He has been playing various positions including wing forward, center midfielder, and front line, increasing his playing time.
