Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu may soon find himself making a move to Belgium as KRC Genk has initiated discussions over his transfer.
The 23-year-old South Korean international, who contributed five goals last season, has emerged as a target for Genk.
RecordSport reports that talks are underway, although it’s unclear whether Genk is pursuing a loan or a permanent deal.
Oh had a promising start at Celtic 18 months ago but saw his playtime diminish significantly in the last three months of the season, particularly after the arrival of Adam Idah from Norwich City.
He made the £2.5 million move under Ange Postecoglou, and Brendan Rodgers was looking forward to working with the striker, but injuries at the start of the season didn’t help Oh push his way into the manager’s plans.
Despite making 20 appearances this season, most of his contributions came from the bench.
Heading into the summer window, it was reported that there was some European interest in Oh, who is keen to get some minutes under his belt to keep his place in the Korean national team.
