Kang-in Lee continues his upward trajectory while playing for Paris Saint-Germain and the South Korean national team. The 22-year-old scored and assisted in Thursday’s 5-0 win over Singapore.
Lee’s recent form isn’t getting lost on people. Tottenham Hotspur star and South Korean captain Son Heung-min commented on his compatriot’s good form in recent weeks.
“Kang-in Lee’s talent is incredible,” Son told Sungmo Lee. “I believe he could grow even further. We have to help him not to get too much pressure.”

PSG’s sporting advisor, Luis Campos, revealed the effort he invested to secure the acquisition of the South Korean player in an interview with Le Parisien. Campos praised Lee’s playing style, citing its alignment with his tactical preferences amidst economic constraints.
Furthermore, the club chief notes that despite facing financial constraints that imposed a ceiling on the transfer fee, he recognized the sporting value the South Korean midfielder could bring to the team.
As a result, the triumphant acquisition of Lee thus illustrates a harmonious blend of economic sense, sportive vision, and an awareness of the commercial landscape.
The game was against Singapore, not Indonesia.
