Yoon Do-young (18, Daejeon Hana Citizen) is wearing a Brighton & Hove Albion uniform, and the transfer fee is disclosed.
Brighton announced the recruitment of Yoon through its official website on Monday (Korea Standard Time). The contract will run through June 2030, and Yoon will play for Daejeon until the end of June before joining Brighton on July 1.
Yoon made his K-League debut by signing a semi-professional contract last season. He showed brilliant performance by scoring one goal and three assists in 19 games, and shot to stardom with Yang Min-hyuk (Queens Park Rangers), who moved to Tottenham Hotspur this winter.
His performance in international competitions played a decisive role in his move to Europe. Yoon joined the U-19 national team led by head coach Lee Chang-won and made great contributions to advancing to the semifinals of the 2025 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-20 Asian Cup. He scored two goals in four preliminary matches and one goal and one assist in five finals.
Brighton plans to give full support to Yoon Do-young to follow in the same footsteps as Asia's best striker, Kaoru Mitoma. "We are very happy to see Yoon Do-young become a Brighton player," said David Weir, the general manager. "We will watch his growth and plan to seek a loan next season."
Yoon Do-young said, "Thanks to the team called Daejeon, I was able to grow a lot as a player, and I have a lot of affection as I have been involved since middle school. I am grateful to those who gave me enough support and love. I will do my best to contribute to the team for the rest of the year. I will come back as a proud player who shines the club called Daejeon."
According to Andy Naylor of the U.S. media The Athletic and Ben Jacobs of the British media Give Me Sports, Brighton reportedly paid 2 million pounds (about 3.8 billion won) in transfer fee by invoking buyout (release clause) to recruit Yoon Do-young. This is one of the few cases in which Brighton directly moved to Europe from the K-League. 온라인바카라
Mitoma, which is now priced at 65 million euros (about 103 billion won), also had a transfer fee of only 3 million euros (about 4.8 billion won) when it moved from Kawasaki Frontale to Brighton in the summer of 2021. Considering that there is not much difference, this is how much Brighton will expect from Yoon Do-young.
