Daegu's Kim Byung-ho has started to rebound. He has picked striker Kim Ju-gong (29) of Jeju Island as the first recruit in the summer transfer market.
"Daegu is close to recruiting Kim Joo-gong from Jeju Island. I understand that Kim paid the buyout (transfer allowance) specified in Kim's contract to Jeju. Kim plans to move to Daegu from Jeju Island for a while and take the final steps such as medical tests," a source in the transfer market said on Wednesday. A buyout refers to a clause that allows a team to recruit Kim without negotiation when a certain amount of money is paid as specified in the contract.카지노
Daegu, which appointed Kim Byung-soo as its new head coach on March 27, has been the first team to recruit Kim in the summer transfer market as part of efforts to strengthen its offense. Daegu has been struggling to score points, as it has scored only one field goal in four recent matches. The team has 18 goals (17 matches) in total, barely exceeding one goal on average per match. With the prolonged injury of Cesinha, the "absolute ace," and Edgar's aging, the team's offense has seen its destructive power decline. The team's top scorer is midfielder Ramas with four goals, and defender Kaio with three goals, ranking second. Daegu, which has seen its scoring ability deteriorate, has fallen to the bottom of the league with no wins (two draws and four losses) in recent months. With three wins, three draws and 11 losses and 12 points, the team is nine points clear of ninth-ranked Gangwon (21 points), which has the right to remain. Starting with recruitment of Kim, the team is seeking to strengthen its players in various positions.
Kim is considered a resource that can add speed and diversity to Daegu's offense. Kim is a striker who specializes in penetration by using fast feet and selfless play by utilizing teammates. He is also equipped with scoring ability to make shots when it is important. During the last season, he made the come-from-behind winning goal in the 33rd round of the K League 1 match (2-1 win), and multi-goal (2-2 draw) in the 36th round of the K League 1, contributing to his team's stable stay (ranked seventh). He can play all positions ranging from front-line strikers to shadow strikers and wingers, and can thus be utilized in various ways depending on team circumstances. Kim reportedly plans to use the two wings as wingers. The combination of right-footed Kim and left-footed politician is sufficient to raise expectations. Having played for three years since his professional debut in Gwangju in 2019, Kim moved to Jeju in 2022 and played a total of 128 games (18 goals and 10 assists) in the K League 1 for four years. Among Daegu's strikers, only Sejingya (235 games) and Edgar (173 games) have played more K League 1 games than Kim. As a former Jeonbuk Test player, Kim failed to realize his dream of joining Jeonbuk, but during the six years of his professional career, he went through hardships such as promotion to Gwangju (2019), relegation to Gwangju (2021), failure to transfer to Seongnam (2022), cruciate ligament injury (2023), and fight to stay in Jeju (2023-2024). He played in seven games for Jeju this season. His experience is expected to help Daegu, which is full of young players.
Daegu is also reportedly planning to strengthen its midfielders in preparation for the return of foreign striker and midfielder Yoshino to Japan. Daegu, which tied Gwangju 1-1 in Kim's debut match, will play the 18th round of the K League 1 at an away match in Jeju on Friday after the A-match break. There is a possibility that Kim will make his debut in the Daegu uniform at his former team's home stadium.
