The summer transfer window is starting to pick up pace but Celtic are yet to make their first signing. That might not remain the case for long as a move to bring in Kasper Schmeichel as Joe Hart's replacement seems like only a matter of time. On the other hand, there is a belief that Paulo Bernardo will end up back at Parkhead as well.

Let's see how things play out in that regard. What we have seen so far though are exits. And plenty of them.

Sead Haksabanovic has joined Malmo while Rocco Vata has signed with Watford. Marco Tilio has also left, but on a loan basis, with him returning to Melbourne City FC again. Now, another player has completed a move away from Parkhead after weeks of speculation.

As tweeted out by Celtic's official account, Hyeongyu Oh has joined Genk. The South Korean striker has moved on a permanent transfer.

Oh's time at Celtic certainly proved to be an interesting one. He arrived in early 2023 with the aim of taking Giorgos Giakoumakis' place in the squad.

Oh showed signs of potential for sure and scored a few goals when given chances. But he never really convinced that he was ready to challenge for a spot in the starting XI.

Oh had played some football in the first half of the 23/24 season under the management of Brendan Rodgers. But following the arrival of Adam Idah on loan, the South Korean striker slipped down the pecking order and barely featured in the second half of the campaign.

One would hope that Celtic are able to sign Idah on a permanent basis from Norwich City this summer. There have been suggestions that Odsonne Edouard could be set to leave Crystal Palace as well.
