Oh Hyeon Gyu is a better Celtic fit than Cho Gue Sung as obvious transfer choice misses 3 key points

Celtic wrapped up the bulk of their transfer business early and now it looks like a tale of two South Koreans for Ange Postecoglou to choose between.

The boss hinted one more signing is on the way and it looks for all the world as if it's going to be a new forward. Earlier in the window it seemed as if that would be Cho Gue-sung following his World Cup heroics, but now it appears to be Oh Hyeon-gyu who is the preference with Jeonbuk Hyundai reluctant to play ball.

Reports on Sunday claimed the 21-year-old is set for a medical and with a £2.5million deal seemingly agreed between the clubs, it can reasonably be expected that he'll be snapped with a green and white scarf above his head at some stage this week. Likely in fact to be in the next couple of days. But who is the better option of the two as Celtic prepare make their first foray into the South Korean market in the Postecoglou era? Is it the young gun, or would they be better off with the more established of the two free-scoring forwards?
