Norwich End Yang Interest But Winger Still Wanted Elsewhere

Norwich City have ended their interest in Celtic winger Yang Hyun-jun, according to journalist Mark Hendry.

Writing in his latest Substack update, Hendry revealed that the English Championship side will no longer be pursuing a deal for the South Korean wide man this summer.

Yang, 23, has been linked with a move away from the Hoops in recent weeks, with reports suggesting interest from clubs across Europe. Polish giants Legia Warsaw are among those still keen on the winger, and remain in the hunt for his signature.

The news that Norwich have stepped back clears some of the competition for Legia, but Celtic are yet to indicate whether they would sanction a sale.

Yang joined Celtic in 2023 from Gangwon FC and last season made 34 appearances, scoring six goals while showing flashes of quality but still searching for consistency in Brendan Rodgers’ attacking system.

Legia Warsaw’s interest is understood to be genuine, with the Polish side looking to strengthen their forward options ahead of their new campaign. Whether they make a formal move will likely depend on Celtic’s stance and the player’s own ambitions.

Yang has been involved throughout pre-season and, with Jota sidelined through injury, now appears to be Brendan Rodgers’ first-choice option on the right wing, with James Forrest providing competition for the role.

For now, Legia remain in the frame, but the picture around Yang’s situation could shift quickly as the transfer window edges towards its conclusion.
