Sad, but very true!

 

Good news on the Ki Sung-yeung transfer

Celtic are only waiting for Ki Sung-yueng's work permit to be approved, despite suggestions that the deal was a lot further away than initially suspected.



The South Korean starlet agreed terms with the Scottish giants back in August, and is scheduled to move to Parkhead when the transfer window reopens in January.


However, at the recent club AGM, chairman Dr. John Reid raised eyebrows when he admitted that "Celtic are extremely hopeful of securing the transfer in the coming months."


The club have now clarified Reid's remarks, stating that the transfer will be finalised when the 20 year-old receives his work permit in December.
Obtaining a work permit should pose no issues for the FC Seoul midfielder, who is a regular for the South Korea national team.

st1:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) }Future Celtic player Ki Sung-Yong has been voted Young Player of the year in the Asian Football Federation Awards. The young Korean footballer, who will join Celtic in January after agreeing a pre-contract deal, is seen as one of the top talents to emerge from Asia.

The 20-year-old midfielder will join Tony Mowbray’s team subject to securing a work permit. Reports in the Korean press suggest a deal worth around £2.4million.

Sung-Yong currently plays for Seoul in the K-League and before agreeing to come to Glasgow had been linked with a number of clubs including Manchester United and Portsmouth.



At the time, Sung-Yong said: "I am so happy to achieve my dream of playing in Europe.I want to go to Europe after Seoul get a good result in the Asian Champions League."

Celtic had wanted to move the transfer on in the summer but the Korean side refused because of their position in the Asian Champions League.

FC Seoulgeneral manager Han Woong-soo said: "In the beginning, there was talk of a transfer in August but it was pushed to January because of our team's circumstances.

"Now it's a win-win for both clubs."

Some good news guys. a lot of excellent young players beaten to win this title.
