South Korea midfielder Ki Sung-Yueng has voiced his delight at having finally completed his move to Celtic.

Asia’s current young player of the year signed a four-year contract with the Scottish club over the weekend and will officially become a Celtic player on January 1.

Ki, signed for a reported two million pounds from FC Seoul, said he was thrilled to be joining a club with Celtic’s history.

“I know that Celtic has some of the best supporters in the world and I will be doing all I can to show these fans what I can do and give everything as part of a team which will aim to achieve more and more success,” Ki said.

“When I lived in Australia, my football coach there was a Celtic supporter and through him I really became interested in the club.

“It is now a dream come true for me to join this great club – already, Celtic has shown me a tremendous welcome and I really do now feel part of the Celtic family.

“I look forward to teaming up with my new manager and team-mates and I will be working hard towards achieving all I can for Celtic.”

Celtic manager Tony Mowbray said he was confident 20-year-old Ki could make an impact at Celtic Park.

“We have watched the player in action already and believe that he has some real qualities. He is a young man, but someone who we believe has the ability and character to do well for the club.”
