Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay is confident that midfielder Kim Bo-Kyung has the ability to settle in the Premier League.
Kim joined the Bluebirds at the start of last season, helping the Welsh club to the Championship title, and Mackay has insisted that the South Korean international will be well suited to the Premier League.
The 41-year-old told Wales Online: "I think Kim is absolutely ready to make the step up to the Premier League.
"He's an international, very comfortable on the ball and just desperate not to give it away.
"He is certainly a very exciting player, that was the reason I bought him in the first place."
The 23-year-old made 28 appearances for Cardiff last season.
