Football League Championship side, Leicester City, have revealed their interest in the VfL Bochum striker, Jong Tae-se, for the upcoming 2011/12 season. Tae-se could become the second Japanese-born player at the club after the defender, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yuki-Abe-c37645, who joined
the Foxes in 2010.
Leicester City chairman, Vichai Raksriaksorn, also confirmed the club’s interest in the striker. The Foxes finished the 2010/11 season 10th on the table and the officials believe that the strike force needs some alteration in order to provide
a title challenge during the next season. Tae-se, on the other hand, expressed pleasure with his experience in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 so far and looked in no mood to make a move elsewhere this summer.
The Japanese-born player represents the North Korean outfit and has had an impressive stint with the chollima ever since making his international debut in 2006. The player has 15 goals under his belt from just the 28 caps. He made an impressive start with
the German outfit, netting in 10 times from his 25 league appearances during the last season. Tae-se nearly guided his side to the Bundesliga but were left just short of qualification in the end, finishing 3rd on the table.
Bochum chairman, Ernst-Otto Stuber, clearly stated that it would require a lot of cash in order to let the Japanese-born leave the club. The Chairman was very impressed with Tae-se’s performance in his debut season and reckoned that the North Korean international
could surely lead Bochum back into the top flight at the end of the 2011/12 season.
A local Japanese newspaper reported that more than 650,000 Pounds have been offered by the Championship side to acquire Tae-se’s services.
The striker himself enthused that it would be an honour for him playing in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 earlier in 2010 before tying knots with the 2. Bundesliga outfit.
The Foxes already have the services of another Japanese born player, Yuki Abe, and Jong could well join him in England.
