Bolton target Korea's Lee Chung-yong


English premiership club Bolton are aiming to recruit 20-year-old South Korea winger Lee Chung-yong, local media reported on Wednesday.

K League side FC Seoul confirmed their midfielder was the subject of an offer from Trotters manager Gary Megson, but the Koreans said a deal was far from concluded to bring Lee to the Reebok stadium.

Lee's agent Kim Sung-tae claims a deal will be struck which would eclipse the record for a South Korean moving overseas, which was set in 2003 when Lee Chun-soo moved to Spain's Real Sociedad for 3.5 million dollars (2.4 million euro).

Bolton are currently at a fitness training camp in Austria.
