Aaron Mooy has backed Ange Postecoglou’s raid on the K-League as Celtic look to seal a deal for Korean hitman Oh Hyeon-gyu.
The Parkhead boss is hoping to snap up the Suwon Bluewings striker in a move worth up to £3m with Giorgos Giakoumakis expected to clinch his exit, most likely to Urawa Red Diamonds in Japan, in the coming days. Aussie Mooy squared up with K-League sides in the Asian Champions League during his time with Melbourne City in his homeland.
And he’s convinced recruits from Korea can crack it in Scotland. Mooy said: “I don’t know too much about it but I’ve played against Korean teams in the Asian Champions League, so I know how good they are. It’s a really professional league, the players are all very fit and strong, as Korean players tend to be. The manager obviously has a good eye for a player. Well, he brought me here!”
