A PSG player in the running for a top award! | OneFootball

This Monday, the AFC, Asia’s equivalent of UEFA, announced its three finalists for the International Player of the Year award (Asian player playing for a club outside of Asia). Paris Saint-Germain is represented by Lee Kang-In (24-year-old midfielder/forward from South Korea). The PSG player is competing with Takefusa Kubo (24-year-old winger for Real Sociedad and Japan) and Mehdi Taremi (33-year-old striker for Inter Milan and Iran).

This is a great recognition for Lee after his performances, even if it can’t be said that his season has been the most outstanding among PSG players. It has been interesting at times, but still lacks consistency. That’s an essential point in his development, along with perhaps a bit more boldness and tempo in his game in Paris. Which, by the way, has been more interesting lately. We hope to see him continue.

In any case, Lee could win this honorary award, as the competition doesn’t seem particularly threatening. Especially Taremi, who hasn’t really convinced at Inter Milan and remains a backup.
