Scout report

Experienced headGoalkeeper

Kang Hyeon-Mu is a 31-year-old goalkeeper at FC Seoul, rated 22.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 64th of 83 on scout potential in the K League 1. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (43.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Hyeon-Mu.

Judged on this season alone, Hyeon-Mu graded 13 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1, on 4 clean sheets across 31 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 16 → 10). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 7th of 13 of the 13 goalkeepers in the K League 1. At 31 Hyeon-Mu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.5 reflects that trajectory.

4 clean sheets in 31 appearances (13% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 43.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 22.5, Hyeon-Mu carries the 7th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the K League 1 of 13. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
