Tottenham star Son personally recommends West Brom transfer as £1m Jeon bid tabled
West Brom are aiming to sign more attackers in the summer transfer window, and have now made a bid for a winger.
Ryan Mason could put his Tottenham connections to use as he aims to bring in attacking reinforcements after joining this summer.
West Brom have signed just one attacking player so far in Aune Heggebe, and now want to add more wingers to their squad.
South Korean sensation Jeon Jin-Woo is now being targeted, and he will come highly recommended by a Premier League icon.
West Brom bid for Jin-Woo
Reports coming out of South Korea indicate that West Brom have now made an offer to bring Jin-Woo to the Championship.
Korean journalist Seol Ho-jung has now reported that the Baggies have made a £1 million bid for the winger, who scored 16 goals last season.
| Stat | Jin-Woo |
| Appearances | 28 |
| Goals | 16 |
| Assists | 5 |
Five other teams are reportedly interested, and it is also claimed that Spurs legend Son Heung-min has personally recommended the 25-year-old to his former teammate Mason, as the captain of the South Korean national team.
Jin-Woo is comfortable on both wings, and not only would West Brom benefit on the pitch from his arrival, but there could be commercial benefits.
West Brom could enter Asian market
More clubs are scouting players from Asian countries, with football in South Korea and Japan growing, and a lot of elite talents coming from the region.
Jin-Woo plays for Jeonbuk Hyundai in the first division, and 21 goal and assist contributions in 26 games last season makes him a very appealing target.
With Mikey Johnston potentially on the way out, Jin-Woo could join as an option for both wings, and there could be a commercial benefit.
Son’s iconic spell at Tottenham has attracted a lot of South Korean fans to the club, and they have found their stature in the region grow ahead of a pre-season tour there.
Should Jin-Soo succeed at The Hawthorns, it could give West Brom a significant commercial boost, as well as adding a goal threat to the wings.
