FC Anyang, which succeeded in promotion last season and is set to play its first K League 1 stage in the club's history, adds to the experience of being the MVP of the K League 1.

An official from the K-League transfer market said on the 19th that "Anyang is about to recruit Kim Bo-kyung (36)" and "It is a transfer to FA that does not incur transfer fees, personal agreements are almost completed, and medical tests are scheduled to be conducted soon."

Anyang wanted to reinforce its squad depth. In order to survive on the K League 1 stage, it was important to form a team that could fully endure the season with clear experience. In particular, he sought out domestic players who would double the ability of the offense team, which was led by Mateus, Mata, Mata, and Yago, and play a role in assembling the attack by catching the ball at the second line of attack.




Kim Bo-kyung was the right person. It is a veteran resource that has passed through the K League and the English Premier League (EPL). He is a player who can play central midfielders, offensive midfielders, and even wingers, and shows great advantages in intelligent play, playmaking, and sharp passes. The key was personal conditions. Kim Bo-kyung, who was named the Korean player's annual salary king in 2021, is classified as a high-paid player representing the K-League. However, as Kim Bo-kyung showed a strong will to join the promotion team Anyang, the negotiations reportedly proceeded easily. Kim Bo-kyung is said to have endured a major salary cut.

Kim Bo-kyung's experience, which rose to the position of the best player on the K League 1 stage, is expected to be a pillar that will support Anyang's first season after promotion.
