# Celtic: Hoops make Kwon Hyeok-kyu offer

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) have made an offer for Busan IPark midfielder Kwon Hyeok-kyu, according to [Sports Chosun](https://m.sportschosun.com/news.htm?id=202212290100195590025209&ServiceDate=20221229).**

### The Lowdown: Early January business

The Hoops have made a head start on their winter window business by reaching agreements for two transfers.

Defenders [Yuki Kobayashi](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2022/november/23/celtic-delighted-to-sign-yuki-kobayashi/) and [Alistair Johnston](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2022/december/03/celtic-delighted-to-sign-canadian-internationalist-alistair-johnston-on-five-year-deal/) will officially be eligible to play for the club in the New Year after joining from Vissel Kobe and CF Montreal respectively.

A new forward also appears to be on the radar with links to [Cho Gue-Sung](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9983980/celtic-cho-gue-sung-transfer-man-utd/), and it seems as if recruitment chief Mark Lawwell has made another move.

### The Latest: Hyeok-kyu bid

[Sports Chosun](https://m.sportschosun.com/news.htm?id=202212290100195590025209&ServiceDate=20221229) shared a transfer story in the last 24 hours regarding Hyeok-kyu and Celtic.

They revealed that the Hoops have ‘sent an offer’ to sign Hyeok-kyu and are ‘active enough to offer a fairly large transfer fee’.

### The Verdict: One to watch…

Hyeok-kyu is primarily a holding midfielder but can also turn out in a more advanced role or out wide, according to [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hyeok-kyu-kwon/profil/spieler/550957).

The 21-year-old has made [24](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hyeok-kyu-kwon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/550957) appearances for his current employers following a loan spell with Gimcheon Sangmu. He has been [credited](https://m.sportschosun.com/news.htm?id=202212290100195590025209&ServiceDate=20221229) with having a ‘European physique’ and someone who has ‘high-level speed and excellent technique’.

Therefore, a move could be another shrewd one by Hoops officials and one that could be one to monitor heading into 2023.
