New Celtic Recruit Yang Tipped to Become World Class

Celtic’s latest acquisition, Yang Hyun-jun, has been tipped to potentially become a ‘world class’ player by the president of his former club, Gangwon FC.

His signing has been confirmed by his club in Korea on Saturday, but Celtic are yet to make any announcement.

This comes as the Hoops continue to strengthen their squad under Brendan Rodgers, with Yang and fellow South Korean Kwon Hyeok-kyu from Busan IPark being the latest additions.

Gangwon president Kim Byung-ji has high hopes for Yang, drawing comparisons between the young talent and another South Korean icon, Tottenham Hotspur’s star Son Heung-min.

Kim expressed his optimism about Yang’s future, stating: [RecordSport]

“I hope Yang will continue to grow. He could easily become a world-class player like Son Heung-min.
“He was a mainstay for our team and was an inspiration. I look forward to watching him produce brilliant performances for Celtic in the future.
“My hope is that he never forgets Gangwon and we always have a special place in his heart for his future journey and I hope he returns to visit us.
“I know he will go to Celtic and become a better player too. He carries with him to Scotland the love and support of our players and fans We wish him all the very best.”

Celtic fans will undoubtedly be excited by Kim’s glowing endorsement of Yang, he’s obviously got something about him if he’s being compared to Son, who’s been a standout in the Premier League for seasons now.

If Yang can live up to these high expectations, he could become a key player for Celtic in the coming seasons.
