Han Kwang Song, star North Korean footballer, moving to Qatar

Unclear how transfer to Al-Duhail SC is in compliance with UN sanctions, however

Han Kwang Song, one of North Korea's most promising young international footballers, has moved from the Italian football club Juventus FC to Qatar's Al-Duhail SC, a statement from the team confirmed on Wednesday.

The news comes just four months after Han, who also plays on the DPRK national team, was reported to have signed to play as a forward on Juventus's under-23 team on loan from Italy's Cagliari FC, where he had been since 2015.
