Kim Seung-gyu (Korean pronunciation: [kim.sɯŋ.ɡju]; born 30 September 1990) is a South Korean football player for Japanese club Kashiwa Reysol, and also currently the goalkeeper for South Korea national football team. He is well known for his quick reflexes.

Club career

After graduation of middle school, in 2006, he entered Ulsan Hyundai by the draft system of K League. He played as under-18 team player during 2006 and 2007, and started to play as a senior player in 2008. Kim was named the Best XI of the season in the 2013 K League 1 due to his outstanding performance. In 2016, he opted to move abroad, playing for Vissel Kobe in Japan.[2]

International career

Kim Seung-gyu made his International debut for the senior team against Peru on 14 August 2013 in a goalless draw, keeping a clean sheet in his debut.

Kim was named in the 2014 FIFA World Cup squad as the second choice keeper behind Jung Sung-ryong. He did not play the first two games, but after Jung Sung-ryong's poor performance against Algeria he was selected to play against Belgium. He made numerous saves, but conceded one as Korea lost 1–0. Despite the loss, Kim was well praised by the fans for his performance, conceding only one goal against one of the top ranked teams in the world on his World Cup debut. Following the World Cup he was made the first choice keeper for the South Korea national football team.

Kim was named as a wild card player for the South Korea under-23 national team to play in the 2014 Asian Games. Kim helped his team get a gold medal for the first time in 28 years. Kim conceded no goals in the six matches he played and was granted a military exemption. Due to his outstanding performance, he is compared to Korea's former goalkeeper Lee Woon-jae.

In May 2018 he was named in South Korea's preliminary 28 man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia,[3] but the manager Shin Tae-yong chose Jo Hyeon-woo as the starting goalkeeper, so he didn't appear at the tournament.

Under Paulo Bento, South Korea's new manager who attach importance to precise passing, he regained the starting position of the national team by polishing up his passing and goal kick skills,
