Celtic have reportedly made an offer for Suwon Bluewings forward Oh Hyeon-gyu.
The Lowdown: Oh profiled
Oh is primarily a centre-forward who can also play as a right winger or attacking midfielder. The 21-year-old is valued at €550,000 by Transfermarkt and has made 53 appearances for his current employers, scoring 14 times and registering three assists.
He made his senior South Korea debut back in November in a friendly against Iceland, and it looks as if a move to Glasgow could be on the cards.
The Latest: Hoops bid
South Korean outlet Joongang shared a story on Friday, claiming that Celtic have tabled an offer in the region of £1.75m for Hyeon-gyu ahead of the January window.
They label him as a player with explosive scoring ability and reckless moves, with a Suwon official confirming a transfer offer has been received.
The Verdict: Transfer overdrive…
Celtic announced the signing of Tomoki Iwata on Friday, with the midfielder becoming the club’s third winter window addition after Yuki Kobayashi and Alistair Johnston.
Attention now seems to be on bolstering Ange Postecoglou’s attacking ranks, with a number of targets emerging in recent weeks.
Cho Gue-sung appeared to be Lawwell’s main target, although reports have claimed Celtic could move for Banik Ostrava forward Ladislav Almasi, while they have also planned talks with the representatives of Rosenborg striker Casper Tengstedt.
Hyeon-gyu is therefore the latest attacker to be linked with a move, and with a bid reportedly already made, it wouldn’t come as a shock if this gathered pace relatively quickly.
