To strengthen a defence which has shipped 14 goals over the course of five consecutive defeats, FC Seoul have secured the loan signing of Korean international centre back Yun Young-sun from K League 1 rivals Ulsan Hyundai.

Speaking via FC Seoul's official media channels, Yun said: "It's an honour to join FC Seoul. As the season has already begun I will do my best to be bale to settle in quickly."

The 31-year-old had been recovering from an injury and so hasn't featured in 2020 but was named as a substitute for the 1-1 draw with South Gyeongsang neighbours Busan IPark in Round 3.

Injuries will have been a factor in FC Seoul making the move for the experienced defender as Hwang Hyun-soo, Osmar, and Kim Won-kyun have all been sidelined  in recent weeks.

Yun made 27 appearances last season for a Horangi side that had one of the best defensive records in K League 1, and is expected to be in the squad to face Incheon United on Saturday 27th June.

Yun began his career with Seongnam in 2010 and was part of the then-Ilhwa Chunma squad that lifted the AFC Champions League. Since his debut 10 years ago, Yun has made over 230 K League appearances and has represented the Taeguk Warriors on seven occasions including in the 2018 FIFA World Cup win over Germany.
