Cho Gue sung addresses Celtic transfer truth while 3 alternative options emerge as striker recruitment drive ramps up

Celtic target Cho Gue-sung has broken his silence on talks with the Scottish champions as Ange Postecoglou ramps up his hunt for a new striker.

The South Korean World Cup star has been strongly linked with a move to Celtic and the Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors striker has also been mentioned with a switch to Galatsaray, however his focus appears to be narrowing over his next move with clubs from across Europe tracking his progress. Speaking to Korean outlet KVN, Gue-sung was put on the spot about his next move and was quizzed on the prospect of a switch to the Scottish Premiership champions in the winter window.

The 24-year-old confessed talks have taken place between his representatives and Ange Postecoglou's men, stating: "Celtic have six Japanese players in its squad. As you can see there, it is a team that has invested heavily in the Asian market over the past few years and there have been talks."
