#23 Lee Seung-Woo

Lee Seung-Woo has been labelled as the 'South Korean Messi'

Age: 19

Club: Hellas Verona

Position: Winger, Second striker

Nationality: South Korean

Korean prodigy Lee Seung-Woo made his name at La Masia in Barcelona, becoming one of their top talents. He made his professional debut for Barcelona B in 2016 before joining Hellas Verona, the following year. He represents the South Korean U20 team on the international level.

The 19-year-old has already seen eyebrows raised with his silky dribbling skills. Endowed with a deafening pace, Lee usually plays as a winger and also as a second striker.

The youngster has already been labelled as 'South Korean Messi' due to his ability to get past opponents with ease. Lee is also a penalty specialist.

Barcelona might have sold him to Verona, but they still have a clause in the contract which allows them to repurchase him until 2019. Surely, the Catalans will never let such a talent slip through their fingers.
