North Korea is hardly known for producing great football players or any at all, but Cagliari striker Han Kwang-song, 19, who is currently on loan at Perugia is proving to be an exception.
As per just-football, Everton are keeping tabs on the teenage sensation, with Arsenal and Leeds United also keen.
Kwang-son has been in fine form in the Serie B, as he scored 5 goals in his first 4 games – including an impressive hat-trick.
While he has primary played as a striker, it’s believed the North Korean youngster should also feel at home on the wings due to his power and technique.
Everton are struggling in front of goal at the moment, with just 2 goals to their name in the last 4 games across all competitions.
While Kwang-son would be largely seen as a future asset if brought to Goodison Park soon, he could defy the odds as he has always done since starting out in the game.
The political situation of North Korea remains a stumbling block, but should the country’s long-awaited first top-level footballer in a very long time somehow ends up on Merseyside, the Toffees would have successfully landed a rare gem.
