Oh Hyeon-gyu 'wants' Celtic transfer as boss admits he can't break striker's heart after FOUR pleas to join Hoops

Oh Hyeon-gyu wants to sign for Celtic and has his manager’s blessing after pestering FOUR times over a switch to Parkhead.

The Suwon Bluewings striker is one of Ange Postecoglou’s striking targets, along with compatriot Cho Gue-sung, and talks over a move for the former appear to be making progress, according to KBS. They report that Suwon’s stance over Hyeon-Gyu has shifted after the Premiership champions made an offer for their star man.

With Giorgos Giakoumakis thought to be close to sealing a move to Japanese outfit Urawa Red Diamonds, Postecoglou is ramping up his attempts to land a replacement. And Bluewings boss Lee Byung-geun had admitted that Celtic and the players’ persistence has forced his hand, with Hyeon-gue desperate to join the Hoops after setting his heart on a move to Europe. His manager had wanted him to focus on starring in the K League this season and then the offers from abroad would come in.
