With João Neves joining Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Lee Kang-in is likely to be used as a winger rather than a midfielder.

"PSG is pleased to announce Neves' transfer. We have signed a five-year contract," PSG said on its official website on Tuesday (Korea time).

According to Fabrizio Romano, who is familiar with the European transfer market, the transfer fee is 60 million euros (90 billion) and there is an Ed-on clause of 10 million euros (15 billion). Also, PSG's Henatu Sanchez has left on loan to Neves's team, Benfica.

Neves said, "I'm nervous but also happy at the same time. I hope PSG fans like me. This is a new chapter in my life. I'll do my best in everything. I'm really looking forward to meeting them, and I'll do my best for PSG."

Neves is a Portuguese top-rated prospect. Despite his young age, Neves is armed with outstanding skills. While playing as a defensive midfielder, he is mostly involved in protecting the four-back, carrying balls and building-ups. He is expected to play a key role in PSG's midfield as he boasts good basic de-pressurizing ability and ball keeping ability.

PSG has frequently used the three-middle system. Coach Luiz Enrique has appointed three main players, Warren Zaire Emery, Vitinha and Fabian Lewis, as key players. With Neves joining the team, the team can now add diversity to its midfielders.

As the midfield became more dense, Lee Kang-in's position also became a big concern. Lee Kang-in, who joined PSG last season, played as a left and right winger, an offensive midfielder, and a central midfielder. The number of league games played as a midfielder was six, and 13 as a winger. It was not a perfect starting point, and he was given time to play as a semi-mainstream player.

Lee Kang-in's multi-ability that both the midfield and the winger can go back and forth is a great advantage, but with Neves' joining, he is expected to play more as a winger now. Last season, Lee Kang-in was often benched by Zaire Emery and Vitinha. Neves has been added to this, and it is said that Lee Kang-in is too much to play as a midfielder in the midfield.[메이저놀이터](https://www.ibeautylab.co.kr/18/

The answer is a winger. Lee often showed good results when he played as a right winger. Except for one of the three goals and four assists he recorded in the league last season, he recorded all of them when he played as a winger. Notably, he had one goal and one assist as a right winger in the last game of the season.

However, playing as a winger does not mean that there is a high possibility of taking off as a starting player. Competition is expected, just like the midfield. Kylian Mbappe left, but Usman Dembele and Bradley Barcola are strong, and Colo Moani and Marco Asensio are also available. The main competition itself is expected to be more difficult than last season. A lot of attention is focused on Lee Kang-in's leap to the starting line.
