Celtic are on the verge of securing its third summer signing, with reports from South Korea indicating that all arrangements have been finalised for Yang Hyun-jun to make the move to Glasgow.
This agreement has been in progress for several months. Hyun-jun, a winger, has been advocating for the move, while his current club, Gangwon FC, has been resistant, primarily due to disagreements over the final price and their preference for him to stay until December.
However, Hyun-jun has expressed his desire to pursue his immediate future in Glasgow, leading to extensive discussions between the two parties regarding the specifics of the deal.
CeltsAreHere understands this agreement follows a similar pattern to the signings of Marco Tilio and Odin Holm. The club has identified and scouted these players over an extended period and recommended them to the manager. Brendan Rodgers has the final say on all incoming transfers and has approved all three deals.
Celtic have agreed a deal to sign Gangwon FC winger Yang Hyun-jun. The fee agreed between the two clubs is understood to be worth around €2.5m.
