Oh Hyeon gyu hits Celtic transfer roadblock as Suwon get tough over 'indispensable' talisman

Oh Hyeon-gyu is set to see a dream move to Celtic blocked by the Suwan powerbrokers with the club unwilling to rubber stamp a January move.

The Hoops appear to have taken an interest in the South Korean market with the club's winter business already well underway. With the long-term future of Giorgos Giakoumakis in doubt a new striker appears to be top of the agenda with Cho Gue-sung and Hyeon-gyu both on Ange Postecoglou's radar. Hyeon-gyu has previously claimed that he was keen on a move to the Scottish Premiership, but has thrown down the gauntlet to Suwon by stating his desire to leave the K-League club publicly.

The 21-year-old has told Joongang Daily when asked about interest from Glasgow's east end: "Celtic, a prestigious club, gave me a good offer. I want to take this opportunity to challenge myself. I have told the club I want to go and I am waiting for the team’s position."
