He was also able to indirectly experience a big stage with the best players in Korea during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He did not make the final 26-man roster, but he did train with him to Qatar. Coach Paulo Bento also seems to have been keeping an eye on Oh’s potential.
After that, it started to connect with the European stage. The candidate for the destination was Celtic. Celtic wanted to strengthen their striker through the January transfer window, and turned their attention to the Asian market. At first, he was connected with Cho Kyu-sung, but when the negotiation process with Jeonbuk Hyundai did not progress, he turned his target to Oh Hyun-kyu. It is now known that the transfer is very imminent.

In terms of scoring ability, Cho Kyu-seong is ahead of Oh Hyun-kyu.”

Also, Cho Kyu-seong had 400 more minutes of playing time. Both Oh Hyun-kyu and Cho Kyu-sung played a lot Although he is a type, Oh Hyun-gyu comes down to a deeper position, and Cho Kyu-seong is positioned between the defenses.”
Also, ‘Daily Record’ raised Oh Hyun-gyu’s hand from a long-term perspective. Hyungyu Oh is currently 21 years old. He is 3 years younger than Cho Kyu-sung. Considering his age, the potential rate of return is higher for Oh Hyun-gyu. Considering Celtic’s recent move to quadruple profits by selling Josip Yuranovich, these points can also be reasons for turning to Oh Hyun-kyu.”
