K-League side Gwangju FC have confirmed Eom Ji-sung’s move to Swansea City.
The winger had emerged as a key transfer target for the Swans this summer, with the two clubs holding talks over the last few days in a bid to negotiate a transfer fee.
Having held a video conference call on Wednesday, it appears the two clubs have now agreed a package to take the 22-year-old to south Wales.

The value of the deal isn’t yet known, but there have been suggestions in the Korean press that it could be around $1.2m plus add-ons. There is also believed to be a significant sell-on clause.
Swansea haven’t yet confirmed the move, but a spokesperson for Gwangju insists Eom is now on his way to the Championship, adding that the player had been on the radar for the Swans for some time.
The club has also confirmed it will host a farewell ceremony for the player later this week.
