An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (33.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.31 goal contributions per 90 (0.16 goals, 0.16 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Gyu.
Judged on this season alone, Jin-Gyu graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 4th of 7 of the 7 attacking midfielders in the K League 1, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 35 appearances (0.313 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 4 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 5th of 7 of the 7 attacking midfielders in the K League 1. At 29 Jin-Gyu is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
