Celtic have been joined by Ferencvaros in the chase for South Korea World Cup star Cho Gue-sung. The Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors striker is attracting interest from across Europe with Parkhead boss Ange Postecoglou amongst the interested parties.
Cho has rocketed into the spotlight in Qatar with two goals against Ghana and is set to feature in Friday’s final group clash against Portugal. The 24-year-old’s exploits have put him in line for a January move to this continent.
South Korea FA vice-president Lee Young-pyo revealed this week that he had been contacted by a sporting director from a “very good club” in Europe about Cho. Young-pyo hinted that it was a colleague from his playing days at Borussia Dortmund in 2008/09. That has instantly put his former side’s name firmly in the frame with his team-mate of the time Sebastian Kehl now holding the sporting director position at the Bundesliga giants.
