Apparently Crystal Palace was interested and still might be interested. It would be nice seeing more and more Koreans play in the best league in the world, but I think LJS likes his time in Mainz

 

Sick assist!

 

Gol No 7!!!!

 

Amazing form

 

And an ASSIST!

 

Someone's going to notice this. Question is- will that someone want LJS to just be a rotation AM (due to his age), or a mainstay?

Goal yesterday !

 

Was involved in both goals against Bochum, with a foul drawn inside the opponents penalty box, and an OPTA criteria assist for the second goal.

With this assist, he becomes the second highest ranked Korean player in history, to have the greatest number of verified OPTA assists (none of Cha Bum-Kun's 71 assists are verified by OPTA) in Bundesliga history.

Korean Footballers Ranked By Their OPTA Verified Assist Count In The Bundesliga:

1. Koo Ja-Cheol: 13 assists
2. Lee Jae-Sung: 9 assists
3. Son Heung-Min: 8 assists
4. Jeong Woo-Young: 5 assists
5. Ji Dong-Won: 3 assists

Noteable exclusions:

Cha Bum-Kun: 71 assists tallied by a Korean football fan, Kicker counts 3 for his final Bundesliga season, I personally assume something around 60 OPTA criteria assists.

Cha Du-Ri: 6 assists tallied by Kicker, but they have a much wider definition for an assist, I personally estimate around 5 assists if using more conventional OPTA standards, but I cannot find footage to go over all 6
