Celtic face competition from Fenerbahce and Rennes for the signing of Cho Gue-Sung.
Two goals for South Korea at the World Cup Finals in Qatar put the striker in the spotlight and just as importantly alerted his club Jeonbuk Hyunda that January is the optimum time to do business with Europe..
It is more than a decade since Ki Sung Yeung left Celtic but under Ange Postecoglou and with five signings from the J-League a move to the Scottish champions is less of a mystery than it once was.
After signing Kyogo Furuhashi and Giorgos Giakoumakis during his first transfer window Ange Postecoglou hasn’t returned to that area of his side in subsequent windows.
Celtic’s conversation rate in the Champions League is one area that can be improved on with Gue-Sung appearing to tick many boxes.
Tokyo Sports reports:
Scottish first division Celtic, which has many Japanese players, has been bought by his ability and is expected to join the team, but the powerful clubs of European countries have come here.
A South Korean newspaper, Kukje Shinbun, said, “Korea’s World Cup star Cho Kyung-sung is about to enter Europe. It jumped to the euro (approximately 350 million yen).” On top of that, “Currently, the possibility of going to Scotland’s prestigious Celtic is increasing, but Fenerbahçe (Turkey) and Rennes (France) are also aiming to acquire,” it reported.
Fenerbahce is a Turkish powerhouse and is currently in second place. In addition, Rennes is one of the top five European leagues in France, and this season they are currently in 3rd place. Both teams are as strong as Celtic, so it will be a difficult choice for Cho.
Ahead of the transfer window opening on January 1 Celtic have secured the signings of Yuki Kobayashi and Alistair Johnston.
we could do with a extra centre forward you cant have enough goal scorers.
