Lee Chun-soo is hoping to forge a career in the Premiership
|
Wigan boss Paul Jewell is hoping to sign South Korea striker Lee Chun-soo.
The 25-year-old former Asian Young Footballer of the Year has emerged as a target as Jewell desperately attempts to strengthen his squad.
Lee currently plays for Ulsan Tigers in the K-League and is keen to return to Europe after spells at Real Sociedad and Numancia in Spain.
The deal is reported to be close to a conclusion but Wigan still have some red tape problems to overcome.
Lee became the first South Korean to play in La Liga after impressive performances in the 2002 World Cup - joining Real Socieded a year later.
He was not a success and returned to Ulsan in the middle of the K-League season in 2005 after a poor spell at Numancia.
Lee helped Ulsan clinch the title and he was named the league's Most Valuable Player at the end of that year.
