Ki Sung-yueng Signs 3.5-Year Contract with FC Seoul

Footballer Ki Sung-yueng is set to return to the K-League after more than a decade in Europe.

Ki on Tuesday signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with his old club FC Seoul, which he left in 2009 to join Celtic FC in the Scottish Premiership.

He will wear the No. 8 jersey for the team. No details of the deal were disclosed.

"I feel like I'm back home after a long time. FC Seoul is the team I cherish most. It allowed me to get where I am now," Ki said.

"I would like to thank the fans who have waited for me. I will do my best to show my growth in Europe and not to disappoint them."
