    K-League leaders FC Seoul have confirmed Celtic have expressed an interest in signing highly-rated South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-yong.

    The Scottish Premier League side are due to meet 20-year-old Ki's representatives later today in London ahead of Wednesday's Champions League meeting with Arsenal.

    'Celtic have informed us of their intentions about Ki Sung-yong,' Seoul's general manager Kang Myong-won told Sports Seoul.

    'We understand that the player may want to move but this is not a good time for us to sell.'

    Seoul are currently six points clear at the top of the K-League and will face Qatar's Umm Salal in the Asian Champions League quarter-finals next month

    Another part of the market looking to be covered. Never know, the lad could be the next Park-Ji-Sung. Need to wait and see I suppose

    Never seen the boy play (not that I remember).

    Mowbray's transfers have been good so far so I've got faith in the big man.

    Hopefully the boy signs and is ace

    His team mate Lee Chung-Yong joined Bolton and both are rated quite highly and since I think he spent some time in Australia there shouldn't be a language barrier and the culture shock wouldn't be such an issue as for example with Koki and Naka.

    looks a decent player. It's a part of the world we should be looking at. I'm sure there are quality players in Asia, plus the commercial side of things is an added bonus aswell.

    He is a central or defensive midfielder and even though he is pretty young he is a regular for South Korea, which is a good sign as they are a half-decent team.

    Looks like a talent and if big Tony likes him then im willing to have faith in him, as I have not been disappointed with his signings so far.

    Leone will be delighted.

    I wouldn't mind seeing him here, we could use someone from Asia for our market there. And I hope he has what it takes to succeed at Celtic.

    Heard of him once. Seems left-footed, has a good shot, from what I can see. And this time, all the *' muppets babbling about Naka's and Koki's light build, can't say that about Ki Sung-Young. 187 cm. Taller than all of our MF-s.

    it also says this bhoys,,so you never know?

    FC Seoul refused an offer from Scottish club Glasgow Celtic for midfielder Ki Sung-yueng last week, saying the player is too vital to the team.
    ``Celtic sent us an official offer, which includes the transfer fee offer. We sent it to FC Seoul,'' an official at IB Sports, Lee's agency, told The Korea Times, Tuesday. ``The transfer fee is between 2 million euros (3.5 billion won or $2.9 million) and 3 million euros (5.3 billion won or $4.3 million).''
    If FC Seoul had accepted the transaction, it would have been one of the most expensive deals ever for a K-League player.
