Yoon Do-young's 'imminent advance into PL' meaning, U17 tournament has also become 'a venue for verification, not growth'

Yoon Do-young's imminent report to the English Premier League (PL) is also proof that age-specific competitions are becoming a venue for verification, not a stage for growth.
Recently, Yoon has been close to transferring to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Athletic, a sports media outlet, said on the 20th (Korea time), "Brighton is close to recruiting Yoon Do-young from Daejeon Hana Citizen. We have met the undisclosed release clause and plan to sign a four-year contract." According to the media, the possibility of transferring in the summer is not high, and he will move to England after playing the 2025 season in Daejeon.
There is a possibility that Yoon, like Brighton senior Ma's Kaoru, will leave on loan to Winion Saint-Jillouaz, who serves as Brighton's satellite team. However, Mitoma has extended his stay in Europe to issue a strict work permit for the U.K., and Yoon may play as a member of Brighton immediately due to eased copyright requirements. In this case, the key is to break through the thick second line through massive reinforcement last summer.
Yoon's transfer is a clear example of the changing global transfer market. As big clubs including Real Madrid and Barcelona, Chelsea and Manchester City have begun to show keen interest in promising players in South America, prices in South America, where "selling clubs" used to buy promising players, have significantly increased. Against this backdrop, teams that need to supply and demand promising players turned their attention to Asia. The number of players who are active in advancing to Europe has increased from Japan, as well as from countries that stand out in national teams by age such as Korea and Uzbekistan to directly play in the European big leagues.
In addition, as the overall youth development system developed, and the period when European prospects stand out in the first division was accelerated, a shift in perception of the U17 tournament took place. While the U20 tournament served as a venue for proof early on, the U17 tournament was considered a stage for growth.
Recently, however, the U17 event has become a stage to distinguish people from the bad. Yoon made his name known around the world through the U17 stage. Many European scouts have already attracted attention thanks to his outstanding performances at the U17 Asian Cup and Spain's training camp. Brighton has also been watching Yoon for a long time, and he proved that his choice was not wrong at the K-League last season and this U20 Asian Cup. 온라인바카라
If the current trend continues, the importance of the U17 national team will be greater than before. In addition, young players who made their K-League debuts, such as Yoon Do-young and Yang Min-hyuk, will be more likely to go directly to the European big leagues. The importance of youth policy has been emphasized before, but it has never been as touched as it is now. Youth players are reborn as a resource with high strategic value as well as potential value in the development of Korean soccer.
