Midfielder Jeong Woo-yeong signed with Bundesliga team VfB Stuttgart. He accepted a three-year contract with the squad, according to sports news coverage.
Jeong is a product of the Bayern Munich academy. Also, he played his entire professional soccer career in Germany. According to the best gambling websites, he debuted with SC Freiburg in 2019.
In four seasons, he had 84 appearances and ten goals for SC Freiburg. Online sports betting sites stated Jeong spent most of his team on the bench. He often served as a substitute to provide fresh legs for the team in the second half.
Jeong Woo-yeong with VfB Stuttgart
Jeong fills a similar role for the Korean national team, earning 11 caps and scoring twice. However, he was never allowed to become a starter at Freiburg. Jeong has a wealth of experience playing professional football for someone his age despite his few game appearances. He has suited up for Bayern in 85 Bundesliga games, five Europa League games (where he has scored once and assisted on another team’s goal twice), and one Champions League game.
VfB has a good team, and Jeong believes his transfer is a good move for him. Also, he played in Stuttgart a couple of times. Thus, Jeong knows the atmosphere within the stadium. That is one of the reasons why he is happy to be part of the team.
Stuttgart’s sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth released a statement praising Jeong, noting that the club was attracted to his playing style and the fact that he has Bundesliga experience.
Jeong Woo-yeong is one of two Korean players consistently playing in the Bundesliga, with Mainz’s Lee Jae-sung. Additionally, he is affectionately called “little” Jeong Woo-yeong by Korean fans instead of “big” Jung Woo-young. The latter is also a midfielder with the same name. Kim Min-jae, a center-back for Napoli, is reportedly close to signing with Bayern Munich, so that number might rise in the coming days.
