The West Ham Male Model Academy

Sky are reporting that Korean striker Cho Jae Jin is in talks with a Premier League club, thought to be either Fulham or West Ham.

Jae Jin was one of the stars of the last World Cup in Germany. After the tournament David Pleat named him as one of the six players 'made for the Premier League'. Torres and Mascherano are the only two of Pleat's list who have moved to the EPL so far.

Cho Jae Jin currently plays for Japanese side Shimizu S-Pulse. He is a tall striker who is very good in the air as well as on the ground. Another attraction that the player may have for English clubs is his popularity in Asia where he already has a number of contracts with clothing companies

The new owners of West Ham have been keen to extend the commercial arm of West Ham, so despite his footballing talents, you can't help wondering if he might be bought to partner Freddie Ljungberg in the new West Ham Male Modelling Academy.
