Celtic’s activity in the January transfer window continues to gain momentum, with the club reportedly holding discussions with FC Gwangju’s midfielder, Jung Ho-yeon.

The South Korean player has emerged as a potential target for the Hoops as they look to strengthen their midfield options.

RecordSport reports that there is a “good chance” that the player could be wearing the green and white Hoops after January.

The interest in Jung Ho-yeon aligns with Celtic’s approach to bolstering their squad with young, dynamic talent.

The South Korean midfielder could bring a new dimension to Celtic’s midfield, especially with the departure of David Turnbull likely.

The potential acquisition follows Celtic’s recent successful signing of Nicolas Kuhn, as the club actively seeks to enhance its squad for both domestic and European competitions.

However, the transfer negotiations might encounter a slight hurdle, as FC Gwangju reportedly prefers a move at the end of the year, rather than an immediate transfer. This stance could present a challenge for Celtic, who are keen on bolstering their squad before the current window closes.
