As reported earlier on The Celtic Star it appears that Belgian side Genk are in a hurry to secure the signature of Celtic striker and have tabled, according to Sky Sports, a £4million big for the big South Korean.
Having paid £2.5m for Oh, and with the player dropping out of the first team squad in the closing months of the season, Celtic may well be tempted to cash in on the player now. However is that actually the correct call or should Celtic be looking at a loan deal to see how the striker, who clearly has bags of potential, can develop during a loan move to the ambitious Belgian club.
It is fair to say that the South Korean international has struggled for game time since his £2.5 million move form Suwon Samsung bluewings in January 2023. However he has acquitted himself well in the games he’s has played scoring a decent 12 goals in 47 games. A chunk of those appearances coming as a substitute.
OH is a big guy who can handle the physical side of the Scottish game and he can hold the ball up, as well as find the net. Yes he’s still a bit raw, but at 23 he has potential and will only improve.
