Overnight report claims Celtic have made ‘impossible to reject’ offer for striker
Celtic are reported to have put together an offer for Oh Hyeon-Gyu that his club Suwon Bluewings will find impossible to resist.
The striker has been mentioned in the background to interest in Cho Gue-sung who appears to have decided to have postponed a move to Europe until the summer.
Over the last week or so Ange Postecoglou has confidently commented on bringing in one more signing during the January window with Oh now looking like that final target.

Suwon Bluewings had been reported to be determined to go into the K-League season with Oh on board but the offer of a transfer to Europe is hard for a 21-year-old to resist.
Should the deal be completed it will increase speculation that Giorgos Giakoumakis is on his way out of Celtic with clubs in Spain, Italy, Japan and the MLS linked with the striker.
Postecoglou will host a media conference at lunchtime today where he will be asked about transfer speculation.
Korean site News KBS reports:
Suwon’s ace Oh Hyeon-gyu, the ’27th’ player of the World Cup in Qatar, is rumored to be transferring to the prestigious Celtic in Scotland.
Initially, the Suwon club declared a ‘transfer impossible’ for Team Ace, but the airflow has recently changed due to Celtic’s continued recruitment offer.
While Celtic is known to have offered more than 10 times the annual salary Oh Hyun-kyu is currently receiving, the Suwon club is struggling with the future of the player.
It is known that Oh Hyun-gyu’s heart was inclined toward Celtic.
