Celtic are delighted to announce the signing of highly-rated South Korean player, Hyunjun Yang, who has joined the club on a five-year deal, subject to international clearance.

The 21-year-old attacker, who was the K League Young Player of the Year last season, has signed from Gangwon FC, and will join Korean striker, Hyeongyu Oh, at Celtic Park.

He becomes Brendan Rodgers’ third signing of the transfer window, following the arrival of Marco Tilio and Odin Thiago Holm to the club.

The Celtic manager said: “We’re delighted to bring Yang to the club and I’m sure he’s going to be another great addition to the squad.

'He’s a player that we’ve looked at closely and who we think will further enhance our attacking options which, of course, already include his fellow countryman Oh.'

“He’s an exciting player who was the Young Player of the Year in South Korea last season, which is an indication of his quality, and I’m sure he’ll be looking forward to having a big impact at the club.

“It’s also clear that he was very keen to make this move to Celtic so I know he’ll be delighted that everything has now been agreed and we’re really looking forward to working with him.”

Yang said: “I’m very pleased to come to Celtic and I’m looking forward to meeting my new team-mates and to begin training with them.

“This is a move that I wanted to make and so it is great to be here in Scotland now as a Celtic player.

“I have spoken to Hyeongyu Oh who has already told me great things about the club and its supporters, so I can’t wait to meet them and play in front of them.”
