As we patiently await official confirmation from the club for the signing of Yang Hyun-jun and Kwon Hyeok-kyu, our new winger Yang has revealed how he sought the advice of current Hoops star, Oh Hyeon-gyu before leaving Gangwon FC in his homeland.
Oh of course, is a fellow South Korean national just like Yang and the man who is currently awaiting international clearance and a work permit before joining his new teammates has revealed how he phoned up the Bhoys attacker to have a word in his ear about Paradise.
Speaking to South Korean publication, Best Eleven in his homeland, via Daily Mail, he said: “I called two days ago. He (Oh) is also in contact on a regular basis. During the phone call, I asked what life was like. First of all, he told me that I should never be ignored. He said that my team-mates would recognise me if I came out strong.”
Should all go well and according to plan, both Yang Hyun-jun and Kwon Hyeok-kyu now should link up with their new boss Brendan Rodgers in Japan. The club are currently on a pre-season tour of the Asian country after completing a week’s training in the Portuguese Algarve. They play Yokohama F. Marinos tomorrow at the Nissan Stadium before facing off against Gamba Osaka a few days later.
