Club career



Cagliari



2017: Debut year

Han Kwang-song joined Cagliari at academy level in 2017, after a successful trial period.[2] Han became the first North Korean to play in the Serie A in a 3–1 away win over Palermo, on 2 April 2017, appearing as a substitute for Marco Sau in the 86th minute.[3] He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–2 home defeat to Torino on 9 April with the final goal of the game 5 minutes into stoppage time, thereby becoming the first North Korean to score in Serie A.[3][4] On 13 April 2017, Han signed a contract extension to continue to play for Cagliari until 2022.[5] He played a total of five league games, scoring once.[6]


2017–18: First loan to Perugia

On 7 August 2017, he was loaned to Serie B team Perugia.[7] He debuted for the club in the Coppa Italia third-round game against Benevento, which Perugia won 4–0.[8] On 27 August 2017, Han scored a hat-trick on his Serie B debut for Perugia in a 5–1 win over Virtus Entella.[9]

Han scored seven league goals for Perugia in 17 games during the 2017–18 season,[6] before returning to Cagliari on 1 February 2018.[10]


2018: Return from loan

Han's first game as a starter for Cagliari, and in Serie A, came on 27 February in a 5–0 home defeat against Napoli.[11] He played seven league games in the 2017–18 season.[6]


2018–19: Second loan to Perugia

On 15 August 2018, Han joined on loan to Perugia for a second time.[12] Initially unable to play due to an injury,[13] Han scored his first seasonal goal against Ascoli in a 0–3 away win.[14] He ended the 2018–19 season with four goals in 20 league games.[6]


2019–2020: Loan to Juventus

On 2 September 2019, Han secured a deadline day move to Juventus on a two-year loan from Cagliari, with an obligation to purchase at the end of the term.[15] The Serie A champions moved him to their reserve team playing in Serie C: Juventus U23.[16] On 26 October, Han was called-up to the first team for the Serie A game against Lecce,[17] becoming the first player from Asia to be called-up for Juventus.[18] On 6 November, he converted a penalty to beat Alessandria 1–0 in a Coppa Italia Serie C match.[19] Han scored one goal and made two assists in 20 appearances for Juventus U23.[20]


Al-Duhail



2020–21: Qatar Stars League champion

On 2 January 2020, Juventus bought Han from Cagliari for €3.5 million, before selling him to Qatari side Al-Duhail six days later for €7 million.[21][22] He made his debut for Al-Duhail in the Qatar Cup semi-finals on 10 January, in a 2–0 win over Al-Sailiya, coming on as a substitute for Edmilson Junior in the 83th minute.[23] He lost the final 4–0 to Al Sadd seven days later.[24] Han made his Qatar Stars League debut on 24 January, in a 3–1 win over Al-Arabi.[25]

Han's first goals for Al-Duhail came on 6 February, scoring a brace against Muaither in the Emir of Qatar Cup quarter-finals; his side won 4–0.[26] On 11 February, Han debuted in the Asian Champions League against Persepolis, helping his side win 2–0.[27] Han's first league goal came on 22 February, scoring the maiden goal of the match against Al-Wakrah.[28] He scored in the following two consecutive games, on 27 February and 7 March, against Al-Shahania and Al-Sailiya respectively.[6]

Han scored five goals in 14 domestic games, and played two Asian Champions League games.[6] He helped his side win the Qatar Stars League.[29] Due to the sanctions against North Korea, which prevents North Koreans from working abroad, Han was released by Al-Duhail and was due to return to his country.[30]

Han made his senior debut for North Korea on 6 June 2017, in a friendly against Qatar.[31] He played in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers,[32] helping North Korea qualify to the final tournament.[33] Han was called up for the final squad,[34] playing against Saudi Arabia – against whom he was sent off – and Lebanon in the group stage.[35][36] His first international goal came on 14 November 2019, in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification match against Turkmenistan.[37]


Style of play


An ambidextrous player, Han's main characteristics are his dribbling, eye for goal and vision of the game.[38]


Personal life


Han is subject to the politics of the North Korean government; he cannot give interviews, and it is alleged that most of his salary is sent to the government.[39] Due to United Nations (UN) sanctions, which prohibit North Korean citizens from working abroad due to the country's nuclear programme,[40] Han cannot play overseas.[citation needed] Indeed, the UN cited his transfer from Juventus to Al-Duhail as a violation of their international sanctions.[40]
