The Premier League is buzzing with excitement as clubs scramble to secure the services of South Korean striker Cho Gue-sung, who has already caught the eye of Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers.
The 24-year-old, standing at 6’2″, recently completed his military service and has been making a name for himself in his homeland with Jeonbuk Hyundai, where he led the K League 1 with 17 goals, earning him the title of joint-top scorer for the season.
Son Heung-min’s partner in crime further demonstrated his skill and prowess at the World Cup, where he scored twice for South Korea, including both goals in a thrilling 3-2 defeat against Ghana, and his popularity skyrocketed, with his Instagram followers rising from 20,000 to 2.9 million since the World Cup, coming from all over the globe.
A large social media following of a player certainly adds to his star quality, a factor when clubs consider signing players.
Cho’s exceptional talent has been available to Premier League clubs Leeds, Everton, Southampton, and Championship teams Burnley and West Brom.
