Lekhwiya Sports Club have
signed South Korea midfielder Nam Tae-Hee from French Ligue 1
team Valenciennes, the Qatar champions said on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old is known for his silky touches and pin-point
passing and was dubbed the 'Korean Messi' by Valenciennes fans
in a reference to Barcelona and Argentina forward Lionel Messi.
Nam is expected to make his debut for Lekhwiya when the
league resumes on January 2 after a break.
Lekhwiya will be playing in the AFC Champions League for the
first time next year.
