Ki makes 'idol' Gerrard comparison
The 20-year-old is set to seal a January move to the Hoops - for a reported fee of £2million - from FC Seoul.[LNB]Ki is happy to be compared to other players but believes he is more like Liverpool captain Gerrard than former Celtic ace Nakamura.[LNB]He told the Scottish Sun: "There's big pressure on me arriving and playing for Celtic. People will be expecting me to be the new Nakamura, but I'm not. He was a wonderful player and really gifted technically, but that's not the style I play.[LNB]"I'm younger, faster and stronger. In South Korea, people compare me to Steven Gerrard, and I'll admit that's who I've based my game on.[LNB]"But Gerrard is one of the best and most recognised midfielders in the world. At the moment, I'm not, but that's what I want to become.[LNB]"Gerrard is my idol, he's the complete midfielder. He can score, he can pass and he never stops working. That's why he's the best in the world and that's what I want to be.[LNB]"My other hero was Zinedine Zidane. I'm not trying to say I'm as good as these players - but one day I would like to be."[LNB]According to reports, World- Cup-bound Ki will fly into Glasgow on Saturday to finalise his move to Celtic.[LNB]He is determined to help the club win the Scottish Premier League so he can realise his dream of Champions League football.[LNB]He said: "I know they missed out this year. For a club like that not to be playing at the highest level isn't right."[LNB][LNB]
