South Korea international Lee Chung-Yong has asked his English
Premier League club Bolton
Wanderers for a pay rise.
The Korea Times reports that the 22-year old winger has
enquired about having his wages increased following his
World Cup performance and at
this early stage, the Trotters have reacted positively.
Last season, Lee’s first away from FC Seoul, netted him around
$AUD1.4million ($KRW1.5milion) but he has asked for a 100%
increase.
His agent will fly to England for negotiations whilst Lee
remains in his homeland on holidays but reports suggest the
representative will not act too quickly as clubs such as
Liverpool are believed to be
interested in his clients services.
