Celtic brought in a number of players over the summer transfer window. Many of those have gone on to succeed so far in 2023/24, but others have not. A select few, however, seem to have gone missing.
One of those is Kwon Hyeok-kyu. The South Korean midfielder was signed from Busan IPark in the second tier of football in his homeland.
There were high hopes for the 22-year-old, although he has yet to make a competitive appearance for Celtic. All supporters have seen from him in his four months at the club so far is a first-half cameo against Athletic Club in a friendly. Even then, he didn’t impress.
No reports have surfaced over injuries for Kwon and his situation remains a strange mystery. It seemed as though the Hoops were taking a punt when they signed him, but one wouldn’t have expected it to come off this badly.
His situation is most certainly one to monitor in the coming weeks and months but at the minute, it doesn’t seem likely that Kwon is going to become anything at Celtic any time soon. Never say never, though.
