Yang has been spotted in the colours of Norwich City
We told you last week how Norwich were a likely destination for the player.
He'll follow Nicolas Kuhn, who joined Como on a permanent deal this summer, and Luis Palma, who's on the move to Lech Poznan on loan, on the way out of Parkhead this summer.
He'll also likely be joined going out the exit door by another winger in the form of Aussie star Marco Tilio, who has been strongly linked with a move to Rapid Vienna - while big money recruit Jota is out injured for several months.
Yang, 23, moved to Celtic two years ago in a £2million deal from Gangwon in his homeland.
He appeared 34 times across all competitions last season, just nine of those were league starts.
In total, Yang has featured 65 times for the Hoops and scored seven goals.
Brendan Rodgers has added Benjamin Nygren but is still hoping to add to his wide options this transfer window.
Antwerp's Michel-Ange Balikwisha has been a long term target and the departure of Yang could pave the way for his arrival.
The Canaries are in the market for a new winger after losing star man Borja Sainz in a mega money deal.
Norwich have made an incredible profit on Spanish winger Sainz who they signed on a free transfer from Turkish side Giresunspor in 2023.

And SunSport understands that Yang is the man they think can fill that void.

Celtic 'raise' Jakob Breum transfer offer with winger search surging as Daizen Maeda to Brentford addressed
Brendan Rodgers is keen to add more firepower to the Scottish champions frontline this summer Celtic have reportedly raised their offer fo Go Ahead Eagles star Jakob Breum. Brendan Rodgers is on the hunt for wide men and is said to be interested in the 21-year-old this summer. The Hoops are in dire need of reinforcements on the flanks after Nicolas Kuhn joined Como in a £17.2million deal - while Jota is sidelined until next year which has left Celtic short. But the Glasgow Times report that interest in Breum is now intensifying after an original £1.5million offer was knocked back. The Scottish champions are said to have returned with a £1.75million that included add-ons - but it has now been raised again with £3million "put on the table." It is claimed that a £6.5million price tag has been placed on Breum by the Eagles - with the Dutch Cup holders unwilling to accept a "knockdown" offer. In terms of outgoings, versatile forward Daizen Maeda is reportedly on Brentford's agenda as they look to replace Bryan Mbeumo following his move to Manchester United. Despite Maeda stating his focus is on the Hoops going into the new season, the murmur has persisted amid reports of a £25million valuation from Parkhead chiefs. But former Celt Charlie Mulgrew insists the time is not right for the Japan international to seal a Premier League switch. Mulgrew told Go Radio: 'He probably could (handle the Premier League) with that pace and power. There is a lot of pace and power down there now. "There is a lot of off-the-ball pressing, which he would be perfect for, and counter pressing. He counter-presses teams by himself. "As soon as he loses it in their third, he chases three or four men, and he is a dream to play with. "As a defender, when somebody presses that high up the pitch. It makes your job so much easier because you can stand on the halfway line and kind of people rush passes back to you. 'He could do it down south. But he is getting towards 30 now, so I don't think he will go."

Celtic learn opponents for Premier Sports Cup last 16
Brendan Rodgers' men will take on Falkirk at home as they aim to retain their crown. The tie will take place on the weekend of Saturday/Sunday, August 16/17. Celtic have two league matches to play out before they begin their defence of the sole cup competition they won last season. Read more: The Parkhead side kick off their Scottish Premiership campaign with a home game against St Mirren next Sunday before travelling to face Aberdeen at Pittodrie a week later. They defeated Al Ahli on penalties on Saturday night in their final pre-season outing. New signing Shin Yamada scored the decisive spot-kick after Auston Trusty cancelled out Gelano's scissor kick for a 1-1 draw in 90 minutes. "He's come in, and it's always different, he's just dropped into a new culture and a new way of working and intensity," said boss Rodgers of striker Yamada post-match. "He's worked very hard in training and obviously sadly didn't get the run out the other night, but it was planned to give him 45 minutes today, and he worked very hard in the game and showed good composure. "He's very quick, he's very strong, he wants to get in behind. He just needs to get in, from the wee bits I've seen of him, better, more decisive positions to score, because we are a team that creates a lot of opportunities."
