Opta released incredible stats on linked Celtic player and by God we are getting a player

All the chat surrounding Oh Hyeon-gyu to Celtic has dominated the headlines this week.

The South Korean striker has clearly impressed Ange Postecoglou and it looks like the signing will be confirmed in the next few days.

But what kind of player are we getting for our £2.5m fee?

Will he play like Kyogo or finish like Giakoumakis.

A bit of both if these stats by Opta are anything to go by.

Hyeon-gyu clearly outperformed every striker in the K League last season.

In fact, scratch that. He absolutely obliterated all the stats last season and was a clear stand out performer.

Ok, it’s the K League I hear you say but every player has got to start their career somewhere.

And if you look at Ange’s ability to get the best out of his players, you would certainly back him to do it again with this boy.

Think of this way. Hatate has only played two full seasons as a professional and look at him now.
