Celtic are expected to receive a surprise payday thanks to Hyeongyu Oh.

While he never set the world alight during his brief stint in Glasgow, the South Korean has impressed with Genk in Belgium.

Oh scored against Rangers in the Europa League earlier this season and has continued to fire in the goals in Belgium.

It now seems like he is on the move as a £10m deal with Besiktas has been agreed for him to move to the Turkish Super Lig.

Celtic’s expected windfall from Hyeongyu Oh transfer

At one point the Hoops were expected to land a huge payday after Oh had agreed a £24m deal with Stuttgart, only for the Bundesliga club to pull the plug at the last minute.

£10m is considerably less but Celtic should still earn anywhere between £1-2m from his transfer if it goes through.

He is his side’s current top goalscorer with six in all competitions but is still free to leave if the terms of the deal can be agreed.

South Korean media claim Oh is going elsewhere

While many believe Oh is Besiktas bound, the 24-year-old’s next club is somewhere different according to the media in South Korea.

The Chosun Daily have said that the forward has been linked with Premier League outfit Fulham.

They do add that the London club have other targets on their mind, but wherever he ends up, we hope that he enjoys plenty of success.
