Lee Chung-Yong Special 2007 ì´ì²­ì© ì¤íì K-LEAGUE 2007 - FC SEOUL U-20 WORLDCUP 2007 - vs USA BRAZIL POLAND Lee Chung-Yong (Hangul: ì´ì²­ì©; born 2 July 1988) is a South Korean footballer who plays for Premier League club Bolton Wanderers and the South Korean national team. Lee is widely regarded as one of the top young South Korean footballing prospects.

"I still have a lot to learn in the K-league to improve my strengths and erase my weaknesses,'' Ki told Korean media. "I want to play in Europe but now is not yet the time.'' The teenager has scored twice in four appearances for the national team, with his debut goal coming in September's 2010 World Cup qualifier with North Korea. That goal perhaps saved the job of coach Huh Jung-moo who paid tribute to the youngster. "His creativity, passing skills and vision make him a very good midfielder.
