Celtic midfielder Kwon is on the verge of joining Hibernian on a season-long loan, according to reports from Football Scotland.
The South Korean has found limited opportunities under Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers since arriving last summer.
After making no appearances in the first half of last season’s campaign, he was sent on loan where he performed well.
Following a successful stint at St Mirren, Kwon is set to continue his development at Easter Road under manager David Gray.
The talks between the clubs have reportedly advanced significantly, and the deal is expected to be completed within the next 24 hours. However, Kwon will not be available for Hibs’ upcoming Premier Sports Cup match against Celtic at Parkhead this weekend due to eligibility rules.
This move could prove beneficial for both Kwon in gaining valuable match experience in Scotland and Hibs in strengthening their midfield options for the season. If he keeps his form from St Mirren up, he’ll come back next summer in the front of Rodgers’ mind.
