Cho Gue-sung won’t be joining Celtic.
The South Korean striker had been heavily linked to the Hoops, who had submitted a bumper bid that included a hefty sell-on fee in order to try and land the star ahead of Bundesliga outfit Mainz, who had bid €3.3million. Their offer was rejected, and now Sung looks set to remain with current club Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, reports Donga Sports in Korea.
That could still change should a major European club come in for him, but he won’t be joining Celtic, whose interest in other players has reportedly left Jeonbuk and Gue-sung feeling that he wasn’t wanted enough in order to take the plunge and make the move to Glasgow. International teammate Oh Hyun-gyu has also been linked with the Scottish Premiership champions, who refused to put all of their eggs in one basket when it came to adding a new striker to their squad.
