Brentford have confirmed the transfer of Ji-soo Kim on a permanent deal. The centre-back has signed a four-year deal until 2027 as confirmed by the Bees on their official site. 

Kim became a highly sought after defender after his performances in the U-20 World Cup, where he also made the best XI for the tournament. The Korean will train with Brentford’s B-team this week before linking up with the first team later on when they return from vacation. 

The transfer fee involved is only around €640,000 according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ji-soo-kim/profil/spieler/709767), which could prove to be an incredible investment later on if he breaks into the first team.

The South Korean came through Seongnam’s academy, and also made the K League All-Star team in 2022 after his remarkable performances in 21/22. The K League All-Star team faced [Tottenham](https://technosports.co.in/tottenham-hotspur-transfer-news-2023-ins-outs/) in front of over 60,000 fans, and he has now decided to move to London to take the next step in his career. 

Ji-soo Kim stands at an impressive 1.92 metres of height, and at 18, has a lot of room to develop. But considering Thomas Frank’s tendency to trust young talent, he could be given opportunities with the senior team if he impresses at the youth level.
