Team management insists Han "not subject" to restrictions presented by international sanctions

The Italian football club Juventus FC has signed North Korean player Han Kwang Song to play as a forward on its under-23 team, the club confirmed in a social media post on Monday.

The move means that the 20-year-old Han -- acquired on a one-year loan from the Italian Cagliari Calcio club -- may now play for one of Europe's top football teams.
