South Korean football legend Seo Jungwon has urged Jurgen Klinsmann, the former Germany national team coach and current consultant of Hertha Berlin, to build the South Korean national team around Celtic’s 22-year-old sensation Oh Hyeon-gyu.
Seo, who won 88 caps for South Korea and is currently the head coach of Chinese club Chengdu Rongcheng, lauded Oh’s abilities and said that he is the future of South Korean football. Seo was in charge of Oh’s former club Suwon Samsung Bluewings and knows him well.
Klinsmann impressed with Hyeongyu Oh
Klinsmann was recently impressed by Oh during his international duty and expressed his interest in watching him play during Kilmarnock’s game against Celtic. Oh has adapted well to Scottish football since his move to Celtic and has scored three goals for the club.
Frimpong’s transfer fee to bring cash boost for Celtic
Celtic has been successful with their scouting and recruitment under Ange Postecoglou’s leadership. Players like Jota, Kyogo, Cameron CarterVickers, and Aaron Mooy have arrived at the club in recent transfer windows. Jeremie Frimpong was one of Celtic’s best signings from Manchester City but was not expected to be a starter initially.
However, Frimpong exceeded expectations and became a starting player for Celtic just a few months after his arrival. Frimpong left Celtic for Bayer Leverkusen after just one and a half seasons but has been performing well in the Bundesliga. He has been linked with a potential transfer to Manchester United for a €50 million transfer fee. If this happens, it will bring a significant cash boost for Celtic due to their sell-on clause for the player.
Klinsmann’s impact on world football
Ange Postecoglou, the Celtic manager, praised Klinsmann’s impact as a player and manager in world football. Klinsmann is considered one of the big figures in world football. Derek McInnes, the Kilmarnock manager, emphasized fighting and scrapping ahead of their game against Celtic.
Seo thinks that players like Oh are progressing well and that the future of football in South Korea is encouraging. He noted that Oh was unlucky to miss out on the World Cup but deserved his move to Europe and it seems to be working out for him. Seo thinks that Oh has the potential to be a player around whom the team can be built in the future years.
In conclusion, South Korean football legend Seo Jungwon believes that Jurgen Klinsmann should build the national team around Celtic’s Oh Hyeon-gyu. Oh has impressed not only Seo but also Klinsmann during his international duty. Meanwhile, Celtic looks set for a cash boost due to their sell-on clause for Jeremie Frimpong, who has caught the attention of Manchester United. With Ange Postecoglou at their helm, Celtic is looking to build a strong squad with players like Oh as they look to defend their Scottish Premiership title.
