English Premier League (EPL) clubs are courting Korean national striker Oh Hyun-kyu (25, Genk). Fulham seemed to be at the forefront of the recruitment campaign, but Leeds United and Crystal Palace also participated.
Britain's "Team Talk" reported on the 26th (Korea Standard Time) that "Pulham is pushing very hard to sign a contract with Oh Hyun-kyu," adding, "It has currently gained the most advantageous position in the competition for Oh Hyun-kyu."
Competitors have also joined in. The media said, "Liz United and Crystal Palace have also offered Oh Hyun-kyu a recruitment proposal." According to reports, Oh's agent made it clear that the player is currently in the transfer market and is open to returning to the England stage.
Both clubs are in desperate need of reinforcement of strikers, so if Fulham hesitates, hijacking can happen at any time.
First, Fulham are showing a firm commitment to finalizing the offensive reinforcement before the January transfer window closes. Fulham has actually entered an "all-in" posture by speeding up negotiations with Oh Hyun-kyu.
Oh Hyun-kyu left Celtic in July 2024 and wore a Genk uniform. From his debut season, he showed off his unique daredevil physicality and high-purity goal determination. Oh Hyun-kyu, who has become the team's key striker in the 2024-2025 season, achieved double-digit offensive points with 12 goals and two assists in 41 official games. He has also scored 10 goals and three assists in 30 official games this season.
Oh Hyun-kyu caught the eye of English scouts when he showed off his high purity of determination this season. The media evaluated, "Oh Hyun-kyu's performance in Belgium reignited the interest of English clubs."
However, Fulham is also operating Plan B. At the same time as Oh Hyun-kyu, Fulham also resumed negotiations with PSV Eindhoven's U.S. national striker Ricardo Pepi.
Under the plan to bring in at least one clear goalscorer, Fulham are in the final stages of a last-minute weigh-in over the two cards: Oh Hyun-kyu and Pepi. The media predicted, "The next few days will be a watershed moment to determine Oh Hyun-kyu's future."
Korean soccer fans are paying attention to whether Oh Hyun-kyu's EPL rumors, which erupted just before the closing of the winter transfer market, will lead to an actual contract.
