Cardiff secure Kim Bo-kyung from Cerezo Osaka

Championship club Cardiff City have completed the signing of South Korean attacking midfielder Kim Bo-kyung.

The 22-year old has signed a three-year deal, joining from Japanese club Cerezo Osaka for around £2million.

Cardiff boss Malky Mackay was impressed by Kim when he watched him in action for the Tageuk Warriors recently and was delighted to have secured his services.

"I went to watch him play for South Korea against Switzerland in Bern and I thought he was top notch. We have done all the health and fitness tests for Kim and we are really happy with the signing," said Mackay.

Subject to Cardiff completing necessary work permit processes, Kim will finalise his move after his South Korean national team duties at the London 2012 Olympic Games.
