Liverpool continued to be linked with talented young players across the Globe, and the latest name on the list is South Korean U21 star Jang Hyun-Soo, who is set to undertake a one-week trial at Anfield. Reports in Japan claim that the Reds are interested in signing the 21-year old central defender, and have offered him a one week trial in December. Hyun-Soo currently plays for FC Tokyo, where he's made only 6 first team appearances so far. If the trial is successful, Hyun-Soo - who is 6'1 - will cost Liverpool around 1m. FC Tokyo's official website contains the following description of the defender: "Calm, composed centre back with top-class decision-making ability. Covering, positioning and game control all excellent. Can contribute to attacking build-up" Jaimie Kanwar 25 Comments: kdoc13 said... I realize he's Korean as I write this, but he plays in Japan, so don't jump on me as I write this. The Japanese style defense looked amazing durring the Olympics, and it's employed by a lot of the teams over there. The only real question I have is whether that style will work with the attacking phillosophy that BR is employing. It seems like a widely varried style that might make him a star in Japan, but might ask things of him in Liverpool he can't deliver on. A 1 week trial isn't going to kill us, but if he's being asked to learn a new system and adapt in a week, they aren't going to learn much
