Celtic transfer target Cho Gue-sung has confirmed a switch to Europe is on the cards next month after revealing interest in his services.
His fresh update comes after his father admitted he is finalising details for a move abroad. Ange Postecoglou and his Scottish champions are one of the clubs chasing the South Korea World Cup star - who scored a double in a clash with Ghana in Qatar. Interest in the 24-year-old is hotting up ahead of the winter window with the hitman admitting he is ready to 'advance to Europe' with a number of clubs ready to make their claim to land the Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors star.
He said: “There is interest from European clubs. After playing against world-class players at the World Cup, I want to advance to Europe. I want to go there and grow more because I met players from Europe and South America here. The desire to meet again in club football has grown stronger.”

Celtic's chances of landing the hitman were boosted by advice from his father. He has told his son to go to a club that suits his playing style.
Speaking previously, he said: "The advice I have given my son is when he signs for a team abroad, go to a club that can play the way he likes, rather than choosing a club because they are a big name.
"He needs a club that will help him adapt and settle down to a new lifestyle on and off the pitch. I know his agent is in the process of finalising negotiations regarding his transfer overseas. He will certainly go to Europe. Ahead of the World Cup, I told him that this was a tournament that he had to show everyone what he could do on the pitch and I think he did that.
"He has had a great time at the World Cup and I am certainly very proud of him."
Celtic have already landed two signings ahead of the January window opening with Canada World Cup star Alistair Johnston joining left-sided centre-back Yuki Kobayashi in putting pen to paper in Glasgow's east end.
