Defiant Cho Gue-sung has insisted he has not regrets over turning down a January move to Celtic - despite head–on criticism from the Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors over his fitness levels.
The South Korea international was touted with a move to the Scottish Premiership as interest ramped up following an impressive World Cup campaign, with Celtic searching for a replacement for Giorgos Giakoumakis as he approaching his switch to Atlanta United. With Bundesliga side Mainz and MLS outfit Minnesota United also floated as potential destinations, talks fell apart with the 25-year-old as he opted to remain in the K-League and target a summer move.
Ange Postecoglou would snap up fellow South Korea cap Hyeongyu Oh instead from Suwon Bluewings, with the 21-year-old impressing in his early flashes in the Hoops acting as understudy to Kyogo Furuhashi. Meanwhile, Cho has struggled to carry on his form from Qatar 2022 into the league campaign.
