Kang-in Lee has bagged a respectable three goals and five assists in 28 La Liga games for Mallorca this season (Transfermarkt).

He is a hard working attacking midfielder and possesses impressive technical ability. He has a really good turn of pace as well.

£16 million in this market sounds like really good value for the South Korean ace.

And if West Ham bring Kang-in Lee to the London Stadium for that kind of fee in the summer transfer window, ill be more than happy.
