Seol dismisses move talk

Midfielder Seol Ki-hyeon has dismissed reports linking him with a move from Fulham after arriving in his native South Korea for the club‘s pre-season tour.

The 29-year-old made just 12 appearances – the most recent against Arsenal on January 19 – for the west London club after moving to Craven Cottage from Reading last year.

After landing in South Korea for the pre-season friendlies with Busan I’Park and Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i, Seol insisted the speculation was not affecting him and that he hoped to prove his ability.

“Those reports don’t have any effect,” he said.

“There has been nothing happening, I have just been resting. The important thing is to play as well as I can to stay with the team.”

And the former Anderlecht midfielder is looking forward to the dates with the two K-league clubs.

“It’s the first time to play in Korea with a club team but there’s no pressure,” he added.

“I just want to play well with my team-mates and give the fans an interesting game.”
