Celtic have been handed a major boost in their to sign South Korean World Cup hero Cho Gue-sung after his father advised him to go to a club where he can fit in, and also revealed that transfer negotiations are at an advanced stage.

Ange Postecoglou's side have been linked with a move for the Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors forward, whose South Korea side have been knocked out of the World Cup after a heavy 4-1 defeat to tournament favourites Brazil. And back in his homeland, the player's Cho Chae-hwan, was interviewed on television about any potential transfer for his son, with Fenerbache and Rennes also believed to be interested in signing him.

Cho Chae-hwan 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.
