Celtic forward Oh Hyeon-gyu has emerged as a target for clubs outside Scotland.
According to TEAMtalk, both Leeds United and Crystal Palace have been approached regarding the potential acquisition of the 24-year-old striker. Their willingness to proceed with an offer remains to be seen.
If Mateta opts to leave during this transfer window, Crystal Palace will certainly need a replacement. The French forward has garnered interest from various clubs.
Potential Benefits for Both Clubs
Oh Hyeon-gyu has enjoyed a solid season, netting 12 goals in 47 matches for Celtic, including nine goals in just 19 starts. He could provide significant value for either Crystal Palace or Leeds.
With Leeds struggling near the bottom of the Premier League table, they are in desperate need of additional scoring options. Their current reliance on Dominic Calvert-Lewin highlights the urgency of adding another striker, and Oh could be an ideal fit.
Oh Hyeon-gyu’s Premier League Ambitions
For Oh, the chance to take on a role in the Premier League is an enticing proposition, representing a significant advancement in his career. He would aim to make his mark at either Crystal Palace or Leeds United should a transfer materialize.
At 24, he possesses the strength and skill needed to adapt to the demands of English football, eager to demonstrate his abilities at this elite level. It remains uncertain which of the Premier League clubs will initiate negotiations with Celtic for his transfer.
