Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

Kim Ju-Kong is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Daegu FC, rated 23.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 87th of 148 on scout potential in the K League 1. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.7% of available minutes). He brings 0.34 goal contributions per 90 (0.26 goals, 0.09 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ju-Kong.

Judged on this season alone, Ju-Kong graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 18th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the K League 1, on 3 goals and 1 assist in 27 appearances (0.343 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 8 → 13). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 24, 13th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the K League 1. At 30 Ju-Kong is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.8, Ju-Kong carries the 13th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the K League 1 of 22. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.34 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
