Also moving to a new club is fellow Korea Republic player Seol Young-woo who joined German Bundesliga side FC Augsburg from Crvena zvezda of Serbia.
Kim ready for Rangers challenge
The 20-year-old Kim signed a four-year-deal to be Rangers’ 12th signing of the summer transfer window after four seasons in Spanish football with Girona.
The left winger joins two other Asian players in Australia’s Cammy Devlin and Japan’s Daisuke Yokota at his new club, and has been given the number 10 shirt.
“I'm so happy to sign for Rangers. I know it's a big club with great, great fans,” said Kim. “I want to help the team to be better every day, to be a good person, and to do everything I can to help the team win everything that comes our way.
“I have a lot of excitement and I believe I have the mentality of a winner. I want to face whatever comes next head-on and I’m going to give the club what it deserves.
“I am an attacking player and I make many chances. I am direct and score goals – this is the most important thing. I’m here to win titles and to become a winner with Rangers.”
Seol takes Augsburg path
The 2020 AFC Champions League™ winner inked a four-year-deal with an Augsburg side that finished ninth in the 2025/26 season.
Seol, a Korea Republic international, played 101 times with Cervena Zvezda and won two league titles with the Serbian side and has now taken a path familiar to his countrymen.
The 27-year-old full-back is the fourth Korea Republic player to join the club, following the illustrious footsteps of Koo Ja-Cheol, Ji Dong-Won and Hong Jeong-Ho.
"I'm really looking forward to my time at Augsburg,” said Seol. “The Bundesliga is a great and demanding league in which I want to prove myself and develop further. I can hardly wait to play in front of our fans and work hard with the team for our goals."
