Fulham recently unveiled a two-year shirt deal with LG Electronics, while Blues are backed by another Korean firm Samsung. Both clubs are under pressure to sign a Korean â with LG thought to have insisted on it as part of their £6million deal. Fulham looked set to land Ulsan Tigers midfielder Lee, 25, who is rated one of the few players in South Koreaâs KJ League capable of cutting it in the Premiership. But Chelsea intervened â apparently after a request by Samsung." In fact Chun-Soo joined Feyenoord. And Fulham switched their attentions to Readingâs Korean winger Seol Ki-Hyeon - the No.7 was a favourite of Royâs but unfortunately not one of his better signings. please log in to view this image Link to pic: http://ts2.mm.bing.net/th?id=HN.608046225453681097&pid=15.1
