Meat Willan, who has two South Korean players, reported that he is interested in Um Won-sang this time.

Denmark's BOLD said on the 8th (Korea time) 'Danish champion Mitwillan is not lazy in the transfer market. "I'm going through a busy day, but the transfer market is not completely over." Mitwillan is still moving fast in the transfer market.

Then 'Mitwillan wanted an aggressive recruitment. It is not clear whether Cho Kyu-sung, who underwent surgery, will be ready for sure at the start of the European Champions League (UCL) qualifiers against Denmark's Super Liga. This is why Mitwillan can step up his attacks. Polish goaltender Adam Buksa is on the list, and Ulsan Hyundai winger Um Won-sang was also reported to Mitwillan.

Um Won-sang is a rising winger representing Korea. Um Won-sang has been highly anticipated since he joined Ajou University through Kumho High School, a youth affiliated with Gwangju FC. Eom Won-sang's explosive power based on explosive speed exceeded the university level.

Um Won-sang, who quickly became a professional, quickly began to stand out even after wearing a Gwangju uniform. After contributing to Gwangju's K League 2 victory as a promising player in the 2019 season, he has established himself as the next star of Gwangju from the 2020 season. It was Um Won-sang, who became sharper as he improved his goal-making ability, which was pointed out as a disadvantage. Despite Gwangju's disappointing performance in the 2021 season, Um Won-sang did his part.

Later, when he moved to Ulsan HD, Um Won-sang began to be recognized as the best winger in the K-League.

He became the core of Ulsan with 15 goals and 6 assists from the first season. He won the league from the first season of the transfer. In the 2023 season, he was a little disappointed in his offensive points, but he showed off his first league best-leven by leading the league to victory. Even in the 2024 season, Um Won-sang has not stopped.

It was Um Won-sang, who was constantly called to the national team by age. Um Won-sang was also selected for the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Under Paulo Bento, he was often called by the national team in recognition of his potential. Recently, Um Won-sang participated in the A-match under interim coach Kim Do-hoon. He is currently the most destructive winger in the K-League.

It is unclear whether Mitwillan's interest will lead to an offer, but Mitwillan is such a "friendly" club that it has recruited Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Han-beom. As BOLD analyzed, it will also play in the UCL qualifying round next season, so all-round reinforcement at the team level is necessary. Um Won-sang is an attractive enough card.
