"We're delighted that Wooyeong will be wearing our jersey in the future. His abilities will lend greater variety to our attacking play, while his ambitious nature and team-first attitude make him a great addition for us. And last but not least, despite his relatively young age he already has considerable Bundesliga experience," commented Stuttgart sporting director Fabian Wohlgemuth.
Wooyeong Jeong said:
"VfB have a good team and I believe this transfer is the right step for me. I’ve already played in Stuttgart a few times so I know how good the atmosphere is in the stadium. That was one of the reasons why I wanted to come here and now I’m really pleased to be here and to play for VfB."
