He said: "This is a dream come true for me. I used to watch Ki Sung-Yueng as a kid when he was at Celtic. He was an amazing player. As a child, I looked up to him and admired him. So it's a great feeling to go there too.

"I know it won't be easy in Europe and I have heard it isn't simple living abroad either. I am determined I will be a better player.

Going to Europe is a new challenge. It won't be easy at first. I may not be able to adapt initially, but I will not be mentally shaken.

"I will continue to challenge myself and if there is a slump, I will handle it wisely.

"I think I have grown as a defensive midfielder and I think Celtic must have liked what they saw when they watched me because I have done not too badly in that position.

"At Celtic, I intend to be a success and I hope it will also help me get international recognition too."

Celtic is also expected to announce the signing of Yang-Hyun-jun imminently after Gangwon confirmed his exit to Glasgow.

A social media post read: "Yang Hyun-jun to Celtic's transfer has been confirmed."

The next fortnight could see a lot of transfer activity in terms of both ins and outs for the Scottish champions with boss Brendan Rodgers still not ruling out a loan move for Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney.

Rodgers said: "There have been lots of players linked with here with me coming back. All I know is Kieran is like myself – we loved our time here. When I spoke to him down the road in the Premier League, every time we met up all we talked about was Celtic.

"He’s a Celtic man but he’s at a fantastic club in Arsenal. You can just never say never in football. Who knows what might happen?

Meanwhile, Rodgers side enjoyed a 4-1 win over Portimonense in pre-season at the weekend with goals from Oh Hyeon-gyu, Ben Summers, Liel Abada and Reo Hatate.
