Celtic reportedly plan to clean up not only Oh Hyun-kyu but also Yang Hyun-joon.

British Football Insider reported on the 30th (Korea time) 'Source told Football Insider that Celtic trio, Yang Hyun-joon, Oh Hyun-kyu and Yuki Kobayashi could all leave the club this summer'

Oh Hyun-kyu, who has been completely pushed out of the main competition at Celtic, is increasingly rumored to be a transfer. Already, Belgian club Genk is moving to recruit Oh Hyun-kyu.

Sky Sports in the UK reported that Genk had put in an offer to recruit Oh Hyun-kyu.



Genk has Thorsten Pink, who has often coached South Korean players such as Son Heung-min, Park Joo-ho, Lee Jin-hyun and Kim Seung-gyu. Oh Hyun-kyu, who is not trusted by manager Brandon Rogers at Celtic, also seems to be good to leave and seek development. Celtic are also in a position to sell Oh Hyun-kyu.

Celtic can also clean up Yang Hyun-jun following Oh Hyun-kyu. Yang Hyun-joon, who has emerged as the top K League 1 prospect since his debut with Gangwon FC, joined Celtic ahead of the 2023-2024 season. Yang Hyun-joon took the opportunity to travel more often than Oh Hyun-kyu. He had no choice but to play mostly as a candidate, but played in a total of 31 games. The offensive point was not a successful debut season with one goal and three assists.

Celtic plan to clear Yang Hyun-joon in one season. Football Insider said 'All three players joined Celtic in 2023, but the lack of playing time has raised questions about their long-term future at the club. All three players can go for a new challenge next season. Their performance will be reflected in Celtic's summer transfer window. Yang Hyun-joon explained, 'He may go on loan rather than a complete transfer.

If young Yang Hyun-joon is yet to be transferred from Celtic to 2002 or there is no clear offer, he can send a loan to adapt to Scotland. A loan inside the same league may not be of much help, as Scotland are said to be less competitive in Europe except for Celtic and Rangers.

Celtic acquired Oh Hyun-kyu in 2022 and Yang Hyun-joon and Kwon Hyuk-kyu in 2023. Oh Hyun-kyu seemed to be successful in establishing himself, but he was eventually pushed out of the competition. Kwon Hyuk-kyu left for St. Mirren on loan without making his debut after being excluded from the European Champions League (UCL) list as soon as he transferred. Yang Hyun-joon played all season but was only a rotation member.

Right now, Oh Hyun-kyu and Yang Hyun-joon are players who can be called by the Korean national team at any time, so it is also a big loss for Korean soccer to stop the development of the two players. Three players who shouted their first European challenge at Celtic have faced a major ordeal.
