Celtic close in on Oh Hyeon-gyu as Ange Postecoglou rules out loan for David Turnbull

CELTIC are closing in on a deal to sign South Korean striker Oh Hyeon-gyu, with Ange Postecoglou saying he expects to wrap up his January transfer business ‘in the next few days’.

The Celtic manager wouldn’t be drawn specifically on the club’s interest in the 21-year-old forward, but reports in South Korea have suggested that Celtic have made a fourth offer of around £3m to Suwon Bluewings for his services, as well as offering him a tenfold wage rise on his current contract. His current boss, Lee Byung-keun, said: "I told Hyun-kyu that a bigger offer would come if I did well this season, but Celtic kept giving me better offers.

“He came to my room close to four times and talked to me... I couldn't break Hyeon-gyu's heart anymore."
