Scout report
Seo Jin-Su is a 25-year-old central midfielder at Daejeon Citizen, rated 42.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 28th of 123 on scout potential in the K League 1. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (26.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Jin-Su.
Judged on this season alone, Jin-Su graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 20th of 32 of the 32 central midfielders in the K League 1, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 1.174 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 11). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 43, top 29% of the 32 central midfielders in the K League 1. At 25 Jin-Su is in his prime years, and a market index of 10.5 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Daejeon Citizen finished 9th of 12 · a lower-table side
1.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (9th of 12) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.26 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 42.7, Jin-Su carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the K League 1 of 32 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
