According to soccer industry officials on the 24th, Baek Seung-ho has agreed to a two-and-a-half year contract with Birmingham and is scheduled to leave for England early next week.

Baek Seung-ho was worried about his destination after signing a contract with Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K League 1 last year, but after three years, he will be competing on the European stage again.

Baek Seung-ho, a former Barcelona (Spain) youth player, moved to Jeonbuk ahead of the 2021 season after playing in Girona (Spain) and Darmstadt (Germany).

Baek Seung-ho played 82 games for Jeonbuk over three seasons, scoring 9 goals and 6 assists.

Baek Seung-ho, captain of the men's national soccer team, who won the gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games and achieved the feat of three consecutive wins, is greeting fans upon returning to Korea through Incheon Airport on the afternoon of the 8th.

Baek Seung-ho was originally scheduled to enlist in Gimcheon Sangmu at the end of last year, but was selected as a wild card for the Hangzhou Asian Games, won a gold medal, and received military service benefits.

There were speculations about Baek Seung-ho's next destination that he might return to Germany, but after receiving an active offer from Birmingham City, he was headed to the English Championship (Second Division).

The reason Baek Seung-ho went to Birmingham was because of a love call from current Birmingham City coach Tony Mowbray, who served as the head coach of Sunderland (second division).

[Sunderland](https://marquis-social-community-network.mn.co/posts/49054093) has been watching Baek Seung-ho's games in Korea since last summer and expressed interest in him, and coach Mowbray also expressed a positive stance. However, Sunderland's position changed when they sacked coach Mowbray in December last year due to poor performance.

Meanwhile, coach Mowbray, who had been sacked from Sunderland, was appointed as the head coach of Birmingham City after Wayne Rooney left on the 8th, and interest in Baek Seung-ho arose again.

In the end, Baek Seung-ho also decided to wear the Birmingham uniform that wanted him the most, following repeated suggestions from coach Mowbray. Baek Seung-ho is scheduled to leave for the region next week and go through the joining process before signing his official contract.

Birmingham City was founded in 1875. In this season's championship, they are ranked 20th out of 24 teams with 8 wins, 8 draws, and 12 losses (32 points).

If Baek Seung-ho goes to Birmingham, it seems likely that he will face off with Bae Jun-ho, another Korean player who plays for Stoke City. [카지노사이트존](https://www.casinosite.zone/%EB%B0%94%EC%B9%B4%EB%9D%BC.html)
