Celtic have reportedly taken the lead in a bidding battle for the signature of South Korean attacker Cho Gue-sung.
The Hoops have been linked with the World Cup star for weeks, after the 24-year-old Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors netted a double in Qatar for his country that turned heads across Europe. Ange Postecoglou's men have seemingly been in the hunt for some time but with competition coming from the Bundesliga in Mainz and the MLS.
Now, according to Football Scotland, Mainz's bid of around £2.7m for the player has been beaten by an offer table from Celtic. Former Manchester United star Park Ji-Sung is said to be in London negotiating as the K League 1 club's technical director. Sky Sports also now claim the Hoops offer was £3m for the forward.
