Korea Republic recently announced their squad for the upcoming Men's Olympic Football Tournament Tokyo 2020 with young striker Song Minkyu a notable inclusion. The in-form FC Pohang Steelers forward is a welcome fresh attacking option for coach Kim Hakbum's side on the back of some excellent club form.
Indeed, the dynamic predator proved to be one of the biggest revelations on the domestic scene last season, scoring ten times plus providing six assists to help Pohang to third in the K League and a return to the AFC Champions League. Song’s impressive showings were enough to be named Young Player of the Year.
