Celtic new arrival Oh Hyeon-gyu is a 'powerful predator with excellent technique' according to former South Korea boss Paulo Bento.
The 21-year-old forward left Suwon Samsung Bluewings in his homeland with the fee expected to rise to around £3million. Oh was handed his first cap for his country in November in a friendly against Iceland and was set to be included in the South Korea squad for the World Cup. However, Spurs star Son Heung-min recovered in time from a fractured eye socket and made the squad for the Finals. Celtic newcomer Oh was still taken as the '27th man' in the squad by Portuguese boss Bento and trained with the team in Qatar.
And former Portugal boss Bento, who resigned after guiding South Korea to the last 16 of the tournament, underlined why he called up Oh for his squad initially. He said: "I have been closely watching Oh for about a year. He impressed me a lot. He is a young player who has excellent technique and is a powerful predator in front of goal. His movement is excellent and he is fast. He is also physically very strong. All these attributes are exactly what good strikers need.
