Cho Gue-sung has spoken out on his failed Celtic move in the January transfer window - claiming that he thought he would make the jump to Europe after a strong World Cup.
The South Korean starlet burst onto the scene at the World Cup with two goals against Ghana in the group stages to send his nation through to the knockout stages. Despite being well and truly annihilated by Portugal, Cho did enough to warrant suitors from Europe - namely Celtic and Mainz, who were both linked with moves for his services.
With Giorgos Giakoumakis looking set to depart Celtic Park for pastures new at this point in the window, Cho equally seemed destined to become his replacement - though a deal was unable to be thrashed out and the Hoops opted for Oh Hyeon-gyu instead. But Cho has spoken out on his failed move, stating that he believed he would move to Europe before the window closed.
