Gamba Osaka announced on 14 July that forward Hwang Ui-jo will be transferring to Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.



Hwang joined Gamba in the middle of 2017 and helped himself to 16 goals last season. This season, he recorded four goals in the league.

The 26-year-old left a farewell message on the club’s website, “As a Korean, I would like to thank a lot of people for the support you have given me. To the supporters who watched over me with such deep affections, I hope I was able to give back to you in the stadium. Gamba should not be in the current position, so I hope to see you move higher up from here on. Thank you very much.”
