Celtic look set to complete the signing of Oh Hyeon-gyu in the next few days, according to a report.
The Hoops have agreed terms with the South Korean striker, who has now been given the go-ahead to travel to Glasgow.
The Scottish Sun say Ange Postecoglou's side will secure the deal for £2.5million.
Suwon Samsung Bluewings were keen to keep hold of their star man, but finally admitted defeat in that battle after weeks of talks with the Scottish champions.
The 21-year-old has pushed hard for a dream move to Europe. It now seems he will give his wish.
Postecoglou is a huge admirer of the South Korea international, who had 14 goals to his name last season.

With Oh coming in at Parkhead, it is now very much expected that Giorgos Giakoumakis will depart.
He will become Celtic's fourth January signing. Alistair Johnston, Yuki Kobayashi and Tomoki Iwata were added to the club's ranks earlier in the month.
It comes just one day after Josip Juranovic completed his move away from Celtic Park. He has joined Union Berlin for £10million.
The Croatian right-back eventually moved to the Bundesliga after months of speculation surrounding his future, with Barcelona and Chelsea believed to have been interested in him.
He joined Celtic for £2.5million around 18-months ago from Legia Warsaw.
On the move, he said: "The transfer to Union fulfils my dream of being able to play in one of the best football leagues in the world.
“The Bundesliga is intense and robust, which suits my game."
