Celtic transfer spotter Jung Ho-Yeon says he won’t do ANYTHING at Parkhead as Real Madrid ‘appoint’ Andriy Lunin for £
Irked Gwangju FC boss Lee Jung-Hyo has stuck the boot in on star man Jung Ho-Yeon AGAIN amid speculation he could make a move Celtic.
Brendan Rodgers looks to be ramping up his January recruitment plans with the Hoops already holding a seven-point advantage over Scottish Premiership rivals Rangers. South Korean midfielder Jung has reportedly been monitored by Parkhead scouts after helping his side to K-League last season. He has played 18 times for Gwangju this term helping them mount a title tilt.
However, earlier this week boss Lee warned him against a move to Scotland – insisting he wasn’t ready for Celtic and pointed to the struggles of the likes Kwon Hyuk-Kyu in Glasgow’s east end. Ahead of the clash with Ulsan this weekend, the boss has taken a pot shot at the potential deal once again – declaring the 23-year-old will only end up back in Korea if he makes the move now.
He said: “It is still too early for Jeong Ho-yeon to go to Celtic. If you want to go, there is nothing you can do. But even if you go, you will come back.”
Elswhere, Celtic target Andriy Lunin left the door open for a Real Madrid exit as the goalkeeper admitted he wants to ramp up his game time. Record Sport understands the Ukraine international is being tracked by the Hoops’ scouting team are watching with the recruitment department analysing a number of options to challenge Joe Hart for the number one spot.
But Fichajes have claimed that a bumper fee may be needed to land the 24-year-old in January. The La Liga leaders reportedly want €15million (£13million) for the shot-stopper.
