Jordon Mutch is reportedly set to join South Korean side Gyeongnam.
According to a report from Sports Chosun, Gyeongnam are set to snap up midfielder Jordon Mutch on a free transfer.
Mutch, 27, was recently released by Premier League side Crystal Palace, making him a free agent four years since signing from Queens Park Rangers.
The midfielder had recently been out on loan with MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps, scoring two goals in 18 games for the Canadian side.
Now, it appears that Mutch is set to make another bold move, with Sports Chosun claiming that he is nearing a move to join Gyeongnam in the K League.
Gyeongnam finished second in the 2018 K League season, meaning they have qualified for the 2019 AFC Champions League group stage.
They wanted a big addition for that competition, and it seems that Mutch has been tempted into what would be a shock move to the Far East.
The move comes just days after Mutch allegedly linked up for a trial spell with Aston Villa, as noted by the Birmingham Mail earlier this week.
The reports coming from South Korea seem almost too random to be false, and with little comment from Villa about Mutch linking up with them, we will now see whether Mutch does make that shock move to Gyeongnam.
