Hwang In-beom, a key midfielder for the South Korean men's national football team for years, has signed with the reigning Portuguese champions, FC Porto.
The Primeira Liga club announced Tuesday they paid 4.5 million euros (US$5.14 million) to Hwang's former Dutch club, Feyenoord, to bring the 29-year-old midfielder to Portugal on a three-year deal, with an option for a fourth season.
Hwang has been playing all over the world since making his club debut with the South Korean side Daejeon Hana Citizen FC in 2015.
He had a spell with Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Major League Soccer from 2019 to 2020, and went on to play in Russia, Greece and Serbia, where he won two trophies with Crvena zvezda in the 2023-2024 season.
