Lee Seung-woo

Aged 12, Lee caught the attention of FC Barcelona after he finished as the top scorer in the 2010 Danone Nations Cup, one of the most prestigious youth football tournaments.

[5] He was also named the best player in four youth tournaments: Torneo Canillas,[6] Memorial Gaetano Scirea,[7] Trofeo San Bonifacio,[8] and Gabala Cup.

[11] On 31 August 2017, Lee joined Serie A club Hellas Verona on a four-year deal, for a fee of €1.5 million.

[15] He was excluded from the list of the squad for twelve consecutive matches, and this situation caused much controversy in South Korea.

[22] On 1 February 2021, Lee joined Primeira Liga side Portimonense on a six-month loan deal with an option to buy.

[24] Lee still showed weak physical strength, pace and defensive skills, which had been followed by his failure in Italy and Belgium,[25] but his accurate shots and momentary movements stood out in South Korea.

[27] In his second season, Lee struggled somewhat due to his weaknesses grasped by opponents,[25] but helped Suwon avoid relegation by scoring the most goals among team members.

[28] He received an offer from Seire A club Frosinone in the middle of the season,[29] but was more cautious about his challenge in Europe after the hardship at Sint-Truiden.

[32] Lee made his international debut as a part of the South Korea under-16 team in the 2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualification.

Lee played for South Korea in the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup, but he missed a crucial penalty against Belgium.

In a friendly against Honduras just before the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Lee made his senior international debut and showed impressive performance including an assist.
