Career by season

Lee Kang-in occupies the most coveted shirt in Korean football — the creative axis between Son’s runs and the back line. PSG has been a mixed experience for him, with rotation at a club deeply stocked with attacking options, but he has remained a Champions League-level competitor and Korea’s primary playmaker.
Hong Myung-bo’s tactical setup leans on Lee finding pockets between lines and producing the decisive ball to Son. The PSG sharpness, even when his role is limited, gives him a competitive standard few of his Korean teammates can match.
Strengths
- Tight-space technique
- Two-footed shooting
- Creative passing
- Set-piece delivery
Recent form
PSG squad player through 2025-26 with reduced minutes and a late-season thigh injury; logged his first 2025-26 season assist on a João Neves goal.
His Golden Ball at the 2019 U-20 World Cup made him the first Asian player ever to win the tournament's individual top award, foreshadowing the move that would take him from Valencia to the Champions League final.
