Celtic target Cho Gue-sung has branded himself a number nine - which could attract the attention of Ange Postecoglou as he weighs up replacements for Giorgios Giakoumakis.
The Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors striker is attracting interest from across Europe with Parkhead boss Postecoglou amongst the interested parties after a successful World Cup campaign, as he netted two goals for South Korea during their surge towards the knockout stage. The 24-year-old, who is also being monitored by Ferencvaros, will hope to add to his tally in the last 16 showdown with Brazil on Monday.
Following the final group stage win over Portugal, forward Gue-sung was quizzed on his preferred position - and it will be music to the ears of Postecoglou as he searches for competition up front at Celtic Park amid Giakoumakis ' stalled contract talks. The Greek frontman has played in a central striker role since his arrival from VVV Venlo as he battles for the number nine role in the Celtic side with Kyogo.
