Brendan Rodgers has confirmed there’s been interest shown in winger Yang Hyun-jun, with Norwich City and Legia Warsaw said to be two of the clubs looking at the South Korean.
Yang signed for the Hoops in the summer of 2023, and has added something different out wide, showing flashes of skill and energy. Now, with talk of outside interest, his future at the club could come under the spotlight.
Norwich’s reported interest could mark a new direction for Yang. The English Championship side are looking to boost their attacking options before the new season and seem to see Yang as someone who can bring pace and invention to their team. Whether anything comes of it will depend on how it fits with Celtic’s own plans.
Rodgers spoke honestly about the situation, noting that Yang has been a useful squad player but hinting that the club would be willing to consider options if the right opportunity came up for both sides. With the transfer window open, there’s room for movement, be it a loan or a full transfer.
Celtic fans will be keeping a close eye on how this develops. The club have to juggle their squad ahead of another busy campaign, and Yang’s situation adds another piece to the puzzle. With weeks of the window still to go, there’s plenty that could change.
He said: (RecordSport), “There’s been a little bit of interest in Yang but he’s been a good squad player for us.”
If Yang ends up joining Norwich, it could open the door for other signings this summer, particularly in wide areas where Celtic clearly need more options. His departure would create space in the squad and likely prompt the club to move for another winger to boost depth and competition on the flanks.
Rodgers will also be thinking about what Yang wants for his own future. At 23, playing regularly could be key to his progress. Norwich might give him that chance, while Celtic remain focused on winning trophies and competing in Europe. Both the player and the club could benefit if it’s handled the right way.
As the window goes on, fans will want a clear answer on what’s next for Yang. Rodgers’ comments suggest talks could move quickly. Whether he stays or goes will come down to what suits the squad and the deal on the table.
How Celtic deal with Yang’s situation will say a lot about their wider transfer approach. It’s about keeping the team strong while making smart choices on who stays and who moves on. In the weeks ahead, we’ll find out if Yang is off to Norwich or sticking around to make his mark in Glasgow.
