Career by season
Source: transfermarkt · fetched 2026-05-29
Lee Jae-sung has been a Korea fixture across three tournament cycles, and his Bundesliga consistency at Mainz keeps him weekly-tested at a high competitive standard. He gives Hong the option of a more experienced, more box-active No.10 if Lee Kang-in is unavailable or marked out of the game.
His 15 international goals from midfield are a significant return, and his pressing intensity matches the style Hong wants in the press-trigger phase.
Strengths
- Late runs into the box
- Pressing intensity
- Big-tournament temperament
