The South Korean international (42 caps, 10 goals), who was not included in the first-choice team, was used by Luis Enrique in a number of positions: in midfield, on the flanks and even as a false No9. He scored in this summer's Supercup against Tottenham ( 2-2, 4-3 on penalties).
"Considered one of the greatest talents in Asian football, the Incheon native is writing a new page in the history of football on his continent and of Paris Saint-Germain," commented the club in a statement on Thursday.
