Melbourne Victory announced on 12 July that they have invited Choi Jun Jae to train with them a couple of weeks. The 23-year-old, who has represented South Korea at junior age levels for many times, is currently uncontracted after graduating from Jungwon University, where he played in the U-League.
It seems like his unattached status has attracted the club which has been monitoring Choi.
Weve studied that market a little bit and its difficult to get players out of Asia once they commit to a club because they put them on long-term deals. Kevin Muscat, head coach of Melbourne Victory said.
Were just having a look at him and giving him that experience, but at the same time weve still got an opportunity to sign a couple of foreigners so well see what happens, Muscat also mentioned.
The SBS Korean program has more.
