Celtic striker Oh Hyeongyu has revealed Spurs star Son Heung-min contacted Joe Hart when he found out Oh was in his way to Celtic.
Joe spent a season at Spurs with Son before signing for Celtic and made good friends with the South Korean.
The Celtic goalkeeper is a senior member of the Celtic dressing room and already makes sure to help new bhoys settle in, but Son wanted to make sure Oh was taken care of.
The new Hoops striker has revealed Joe has been doing his bit.
Oh told RecordSport: “Joe Hart was a teammate of Son at Spurs and he’s told me that they’d spoken on the phone and Son told him to look after me! He’s been great, he’s been helping me settle in.
“I have spoken to a few of the Korean players who are playing in the UK, guys like Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan at Wolves. They haven’t given me advice as such, but they have told me what the game is like over here and what to expect. They contacted me first and asked me how my life was. I am grateful that Heung-min and Hee-chan hyung got in touch and it gave me great strength.”
Oh opened his goal scoring account for Celtic at the weekend when he scored the Hoops’ third against St Mirren. The frontman showing his predatory instincts to latch onto a spilled shot from Callum McGregor.
After the match, there was a nice moment between Oh and Hart when the Englishman showed his teammate how to celebrate with the green brigade after the win.
