How far did Yoon Do-young (19, Daejeon Hana Citizen) go.
Yoon is a top-rated prospect that Korean soccer is highly anticipating. His talent was recognized early on. He was also recognized as an ace in the 2023 U-17 World Cup, which was full of good players. At that time, big European clubs including Manchester City showed great interest. Just as Yang Min-hyuk (Tottenham Hotspur) played an overwhelming role last season, Yoon's performance was also amazing. Yoon, who participated in the Coupang Play Series against Tottenham in July last year as a member of Team K League, was praised as a "good player" by James Medicine.
Wearing a semi-professional uniform for the 2024 season, Yoon started in the 14th round against Ulsan HD, setting a record of becoming the youngest player to play in the club (17 years, 6 months and 27 days). He scored his debut goal in the 29th round against Gwangju FC, surpassing Yang Min-hyuk to become the youngest player to score since the introduction of the promotion system in 2013. Yoon displayed outstanding performance toward the end of the season, and his final record for the 2024 season was one goal and three assists from 19 matches.
As he showed competitive edge in the professional league, Europe paid attention again. During the season, he was connected to Wolverhampton, where "Bull" Hwang Hee-chan is playing, Augsburg in Germany, and Meat Willan in Denmark. Among them was Brighton. In the meantime, his friend and rival Yang Min-hyuk confirmed his move to Tottenham. Yang Min-hyuk was recently loaned to the Queens Park Rangers (QPR), where Park Ji-sung played, and played his debut match.
Yoon's love call for him became more concrete in 2025. It was reported from Deer Athletic that he started out as the first tier of Brighton. Andy Taylor, a reporter for Deer Athletic who is considered to be the first tier of Brighton, said on Monday that Brighton is showing interest in recruiting Yoon, raising the possibility of Yoon going to Brighton. He even published an article about his imminent departure to Brighton on Saturday. Taylor said, "Brighton is close to signing Yoon. Brighton has met the minimum transfer fee (buy-out) clause that guarantees Yoon's transfer. Yoon will move to Brighton during the 2025-2026 season."
Has Yoon been confirmed to go to Brighton as reported? In conclusion, he is not yet. Brighton's interest in Yoon is a fact. According to Sports Chosun's report, Brighton sent a letter of interest to Daejeon over the weekend. It has officially expressed interest in Yoon. However, it was not an official proposal that includes transfer fees. In other words, no negotiation table has been prepared for Yoon's transfer.
Yoon's agent also acknowledged Brighton's interest, but said, "We are not discussing details yet." He said that personal agreements are needed for the transfer, but no procedures have taken place. In fact, Yoon joined the national team to participate in the 2025 U-20 Asian Cup in China starting on the 12th. He is not in a situation to talk about transfer right away.
However, chances are quite high that he will fly to Brighton. As reported by The Athletic, Yoon is known to have a buyout clause only for his overseas expansion. If Brighton shoots a buyout, that is all. The fact that reporter Taylor, who is well versed in Brighton's internal affairs, reportedly made such a report can be interpreted as the fact that Brighton has completed an internal review to pay for the buyout. In fact, Brighton has reportedly shown interest in Yoon and gave him a fairly high score on his ability. 스포츠토토
However, it is a variable that other European clubs besides Brighton are also interested in Yoon. The British Mirror reported that Chelsea and Aston Villa also want to recruit Yoon. There are also several other teams. For this reason, Yoon's team is determined to take some time to monitor the situation without any hesitation. Daejeon also has a policy that it can send Yoon if a good offer is made. However, it hopes to send Yoon after the summer.
