Oh sparks incredible transfer tug of war as £9m Feyenoord bid turfed out and Celtic in line to cash in again
The South Korean star moved to Belgian football last summer in a deal reportedly worth in total of £4.5m to the Scottish champions Feyenoord have had a bumper £9million bid rejected by Genk for former Celtic striker Oh Hyeon-gyu. The South Korean star moved to Belgian football last summer in a deal reportedly worth in total of £4.5m to the Scottish champions if all performance-related bonuses were met. And now Celtic could be set to cash in again with the champions long-term proponents of sell-on fees for the 24-year-old. Feyenoord are desperate to land Oh, but Genk have made it clear they have no intention of selling the 19-times capped international, who still has three years of his deal left. He was mostly used as a sub for Genk during his first season in Belgium and only made three league starts, but still scored nine goals for them. But Genk are set to sell Manchester United-linked star striker Tolu Arokodare and want to promote Oh as their main attacking threat for the new season and Feyenoord would have to substantially up their offer to have any chance of signing the player. Oh revealed last summer he felt he had to leave Celtic - where he scored 12 goals in all competitions despite only making six starts - because of the arrival of Adam Idah. He said: "I had lost my place in my national team because I was no longer playing for Celtic. It was then I knew I had to get a transfer. I scored 12 goals in total for Celtic, but I hardly played in the last six months. "They had brought in a new striker, someone with a different profile - a big, strong boy (Adam Idah) - and they had to find a solution for me. I thought that was a shame at first because I really loved Celtic. It's a great club. "But when Genk came calling, I didn't hesitate. I had a few options in the English Championship, but I just wanted to come here. "When you see all the players who came through here - Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, Leandro Trossard and more. That's impressive, isn't it?" You can get all the news you need on our dedicated Celtic page, and sign up to our newsletters to make sure you never miss a beat throughout the season.

Kevin De Bruyne held 'talks' with shock Premier League side before joining Napoli on free transfer as Man City legend looks to prove doubters wrong after being refused new deal
Kevin De Bruyne held talks with one of Manchester City 's bitterest Premier League rivals before joining Napoli on a free, a bombshell report has claimed. The Belgian was confirmed as a Napoli star and hailed as 'King Kev' earlier this month as City showed him the door following a decade of impeccable service. De Bruyne, who also considered the prospect of joining Chicago Fire, seemed wistful to be leaving the Etihad but is determined to make a point. The Athletic reports that the 33-year-old opted for Napoli partly so he could prove City wrong for letting him go by showing he can compete at the top level. Napoli recently lifted their second Serie A title in three seasons and Antonio Conte 's side could face City in the Champions League this coming season. However, De Bruyne also had a 'brief conversation' with Liverpool in a revelation that will shock many fans. He was actually a Reds supporter growing up. While in the academy at Genk, he revealed: 'My favourite club is Liverpool and my favourite player is Michael Owen, and I would love to play there one day.' In 2019, he told the Match of the Day magazine: 'I was a Liverpool fan. My family that live in England were all Liverpool supporters so I was, too. 'I loved Michael Owen because I was really small like him and quick, too. I compared myself to him at the time. I liked [Zinedine] Zidane and Ronaldinho too – those really skilful players.' Even considering this, it would have been a jaw-dropping move had De Bruyne actually joined his side's recent rivals. Liverpool and City have shared the last eight Premier League titles (two vs six), and the one to miss out has been runner-up in three of those seasons. The last players to switch between the two clubs were James Milner and Raheem Sterling in 2015-16, with the former joining Liverpool and the latter going to City.
