Oh: I'm delighted that my dream move to Celtic has come true
It's a move that Hyeongyu Oh has dreamt about, and it's one that has now become a reality for the South Korean internationalist, who has joined the Scottish Champions on a five-year deal. The striker sealed his dream move to Celtic from K-League club, Suwon Samsung Bluewings, having scored 14 goals in the calendar year of 2022. One of the league's top players last year, the 21-year-old was also awarded his first international cap in November. Now as a Celtic player, he can't wait to get started and experience Paradise for the first time.
Speaking exclusively to Celtic TV, Oh said: "I’m happy to be playing at one of the top clubs and I’m delighted that my dream has come true. I feel like I’m on a movie set and I’m really excited to be in the city and I’m looking forward to the upcoming days. This is the moment I have dreamed of and I’m really excited to perform in front of the fans at the stadium."
Oh is not the first South Korean to play for the Hoops, with Ki Sung-Yeung and Cha Du-Ri both having had successful spells with the club in the early 2010s. The striker is delighted to be following in their footsteps and he also wants to follow in their title-winning success.Â
He added: "I’m a very aggressive player who also likes the physical side and I like to score lots of goals. One of my aims is to score a lot of goals and I also have ambitions of winning the league championship. Ki Sung-Yeung and Cha Du-Ri are two of the players I respect the most. I have seen them playing for Celtic and I’m now happy to have the Celtic badge on my chest and to be working with the team on its goals."
