Young South Korean defender Kim Young-Chan has been invited to spend a week on trial at FC Groningen, the club has confirmed.

The 18-year-old will arrive at the Eredivisie club next week and train with Pieter Huistra's squad during his stay, Groningen's official website confirmed.

The centre-back, who has featured several times for South Korea at youth level, is currently playing in his home country at Shin-gal High School.

Groningen already have Kim's compatriot, Hyun-Jun Suk, signed at the club.
