Yang Hyun-jun is finally set to officially complete his move to Celtic. The South Korean winger's departure from K-League club Gangwon was confirmed by them last week.

But the lack of announcement from the Hoops left fans scratching their heads as to when the 21-year-old was going to be seen with the traditional scarf above his head.

Many assumed he'd join up with Brendan Rodgers' squad in Japan on their pre-season tour. But he's going straight to Parkhead after stopping at Seoul airport to chat to journalists in his homeland before taking to the skies to begin the next chapter of his career in Scotland.

The Premiership champions are shelling out £2.1million for land him, and he will join Odin Thiago Holm and Marco Tilio as the new recruits of Rodgers' second reign so far.
