Caught between a European club wanting his services and his current team hoping to hold onto him, Gangwon FC attacker Yang Hyun-jun has made it clear he’d like to play overseas someday.

“It’s a dream for every player to go to Europe,” Yang said after a 1-1 draw against Suwon FC in a K League 1 match Sunday, three days after Gangwon acknowledged having received an offer from Scottish champions Celtic FC for the promising 21-year-old.

“I know our team is in a difficult situation, but I want to challenge myself in Europe,” Yang added. “I’d like to bank on my aggressiveness to play in Europe.”

Celtic, fresh off a Scottish treble, already employ a young Korean attacker in Oh Hyeon-gyu, who joined them during the winter transfer window in January this year.

With the European season going from late summer to spring the following year, Yang said joining a new club during 한국을 the summer transfer window, prior to the start of a new campaign, would make his transition easier.

“I’ve told the team that an opportunity to move overseas doesn’t come often,” Yang said. “When I had an offer from the United States, I stayed put here because my goal was to go to Europe. And Gangwon told me they would be supportive if an offer from Europe came. Honestly, I’d love to go to Celtic because they made a good offer.”
