CLUB STATEMENT

Newcastle United have completed the signing of highly-rated South Korean winger Seung-soo Park from K League 2 side Suwon Bluewings.

The 18-year-old has made 28 senior appearances for the Bluewings in all competitions, registering one goal and three assists.

Park, who has been capped five times for South Korea under-20s, will join the club's Academy and link up with the Magpies' under-21 squad.

Park said: "It's a huge honour to join Newcastle United.

"It's a big step for me and I feel incredibly thankful for the faith the club have shown in me.

"I'm excited to develop here, learn from the coaches, and give everything to become the best player I can be."

After coming through the youth system at Suwon Bluewings, Park became the youngest goalscorer in the history of South Korean professional football when he netted in a 1-1 draw against Ansan Greeners FC in June 2024.

Academy Director Steve Harper added: "Park is an exciting young talent with real potential.

"He's already shown maturity beyond his years in a competitive environment and we're delighted to welcome him to the club.

"His signing reflects our commitment to identifying and developing elite talent from across the globe and credit must go to our recruitment network, who continue to do an excellent job in identifying talented young players who have the potential to thrive here.

"We've seen our talent pathway produce some outstanding success stories in recent seasons and Park now joins a group of young players with that same opportunity ahead of them."
