Confirmed: Dong-Jun Lee signs with Hertha through 2025
Hertha BSC introduced their newest attacking addition on Saturday.
Right on schedule, Germany's Charlottenburg capital city side introduced South Korean international Dong-Jun Lee after the Ulsan Hyundai winger passed his medical on Saturday. German footballing magazine Kicker reports confirmation of their original transfer fee estimate. Lee evidently joins "die alte Dame" for just under €1 million.
The Taeguk warrior, who can play on either attacking flank as well as a center-forward, signs a contract through 2025. Club sporting CEO Fredi Bobic lauded the new addition as a "strong, fast, and agile player whom we're looking forward to seeing in action.
"This is certainly a big step for me," the 24-year-old said in his own released statement, "It's always been my dream to move to a big club in Europe. I'm looking forward to this challenge and hope to show what I'm capable of as soon as possible."
