Paris Saint-Germain have signed South Korean international Lee Kang-in from Real Mallorca.

The 22-year-old midfielder played for Spain for two years before signing a five-year deal with the French champions.

Lee is PSG’s fourth summer signing after midfielder Manuel Ugarte, central defender Milan Skriniar and striker Marco Asensio.

“It’s incredible to be able to join Paris Saint-Germain, it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world, with some of the greatest players in the world,” said Lee in a statement.

“I can’t wait to start this new adventure.”

Lee broke into the first team at Valencia as a winger after coming up through the club’s youth programme. He can also play in the middle of the field.

He played for Mallorca last season and scored six goals in 39 games. He has also played for South Korea 14 times, including in all four of their World Cup games last year.

The capital club also got rid of Christophe Galtier as coach and hired Luis Enrique, who was in charge of Barcelona and Spain.
