Jesse Lingard (32), the star playmaker of FC Seoul, was named as a 'soccer star playing in an exotic league' by a media outlet. On the

28th (Korean time), the transfer fee website 'Transfermarkt' introduced four players who were once famous in Europe but are now playing in exotic leagues through their official SNS.

The first name to appear was Lingard. The media outlet highlighted that Lingard currently plays in South Korea and that his club is FC Seoul. It even introduced the Seoul club emblem.

In addition, it highlighted that the highest estimated transfer fee according to 'Transfermarkt' was 40 million euros (approximately 60 billion won).

Lingard is a top-class attacking midfielder and winger who came from Manchester United's youth system and played 232 games (35 goals) in a Manchester United uniform from 2011 to 2022. He is a special star who played with Paul Pogba (Juventus) and Marcus Rashford (Man U). His

performance in the 2015-2016 season FA Cup final against Crystal Palace, where he scored the winning goal and led the team to the championship, is still remembered for a long time. He was also a key player in the 2016-2017 season European Europa League and EFL Cup double win.

In the 2017-2018 season, when he had his 'career high', he scored a total of 13 goals, including 8 goals in the English Premier League (EPL). As an England representative, he played in 32 A matches from 2016 to 2021 and scored 6 goals.

Lingard, who has built such a brilliant career, made a surprise move to Seoul in February. This achievement was made possible by the Seoul club's continuous efforts to check Lingard's situation and the possibility of recruiting him, who has not been affiliated with a team since June 2023. Lingard said, "Business is not important. I came here to play football," and now, 5 months later, he is thoroughly keeping his word.

Lingard, who returned in May after undergoing knee surgery, is playing a lubricating role in Seoul's offense with his clever moves that make people stick out their tongues, his excellent ability to create space, and his clever linkage play. He scored his debut goal in the K-League against Gangwon last month and his first field goal against Daejeon on the 10th.

Lingard, who suffered a hamstring injury in the Ulsan match, is training twice a day to make a quick recovery, saying, "I will stay here and train," despite Seoul manager Kim Ki-dong's consideration that he "can go home (to England) and rehabilitate." He is receiving praise for his work ethic that is higher than that of any other Korean player.
