Cho Gue sung WILL regret Celtic transfer snub as South Korea star handed pointed Oh comparison

Veteran South Korea defender Park Joo-ho has told Cho Gue-sung he WILL regret not joining Celtic in the January as he lauded former teammate Hyeongyu Oh for making the move.

Ange Postecoglou's side were keen on the Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors striker in the winter transfer window after he impressed for South Korea at the World Cup, with Bundesliga side Mainz also offering a route to Europe for the 25-year-old. In the end, he opted to remain in the K-League and work on his fitness with his countryman Oh making the move to the Scottish Premiership from Suwon Bluewings.

Gue-sung has been vocal in his homeland when discussing his dream move to the English Premier League, but Joo-ho insists moves to European clubs don't come along too often for the stars in Korea's domestic leagues. The 36-year-old played for Basel, Mainz and Borussia Dortmund during his career before returning to the K-League to see out his career.
