Manchester City are sending midfielder Mix Diskerud to South Korea's K-League.

Ulsan Hyundai have announced the loan of Diskerun, who is tied to City until 2022. The Swede was snapped up from MLS partners New York City FC.

"I know that the K-League is the strongest competition in Asia," said Diskerud.

"I hope to meet the fans as soon as possible. I call you all to visit us in the upcoming matches."

It's suggested City have signed the midfielder, 27, with the sole purpose to sell for a profit.
