Eom Ji-Sung

Eom built his reputation in South Korean football as a winger who could simply beat his man in a straight foot race for the ball. That skill helped his previous club win promotion, built on close control and quick feet rather than physical duels. That dribbling instinct travelled with him to Wales, where he still looks happiest running directly at a full back rather than combining through short passes. Scoring on his senior international debut only added to a reputation for producing something out of nothing.

Whether that same one against one ability holds up in the Championship is the more interesting question. English defenders close down wingers faster and more aggressively than most opponents he faced in Asia, leaving far less room to show off his close control before a tackle arrives. Watch whether he starts drifting to safer areas of the pitch once those challenges start landing regularly.
