Baek Seung-ho, who will wear number 13 for Birmingham City, said in an interview on the club's website, "I am really happy to be a part of this team. I am very excited and can't wait to get started."
He said: "It'xz been one of my dreams to come to England ever since I started watching football as a kid. I was really excited when I heard that Birmingham were interested in me. I spoke to the manager (Tony Mowbray) and felt very comfortable. “It became the biggest reason for coming here,” he explained.
