Celtic have confirmed the signing of South Korean winger Yang Hyun-jun.
The 21-year-old forward has signed a five-year deal at Parkhead.
The K-League player of the year last season becomes Brendan Rodgers' third signing as he joins from Gangwon FC.
He follows Marco Tilio and Odin Thiago Holm in moving to Celtic this summer.
Rodgers said of the signing: “We’re delighted to bring Yang to the club and I’m sure he’s going to be another great addition to the squad.
'He’s a player that we’ve looked at closely and who we think will further enhance our attacking options which, of course, already include his fellow countryman Oh.'
“He’s an exciting player who was the Young Player of the Year in South Korea last season, which is an indication of his quality, and I’m sure he’ll be looking forward to having a big impact at the club.

“It’s also clear that he was very keen to make this move to Celtic so I know he’ll be delighted that everything has now been agreed and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”
And Yang added: “I’m very pleased to come to Celtic and I’m looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to begin training with them.
“This is a move that I wanted to make and so it is great to be here in Scotland now as a Celtic player.
“I have spoken to Hyeongyu Oh who has already told me great things about the club and its supporters, so I can’t wait to meet them and play in front of them.”
