South Korean striker Oh Hyun-gyu, known for his decisive World Cup goal, is reportedly on the radar of English Premier League newcomers Hull City. This potential move follows a confluence of factors, including his game-winning performance in the World Cup and his impactful half-season with Turkish club Besiktas.
