Kyogo Furuhashi

Looks like a proper no.11.

 

I admire your tenacity lads

 

His finishing is top notch.

 

Love how out of the blue this has come. Welcome to the greatest club in the world, Kyogo!

 

Definitely lifts spirits when this type of secret signing happens. Adds proper buzz around the place instead of long winded * we've had for years. I'd love it if every signing was the same from now on.

 

Looks like a top bit of business done by the club, credit where its due.

Need to get a few more bodies in, Starfelt and some fullbacks next please!!

 

Totally agree. You start to panic about signings, which should be done and aren't done. Something like this shocks us all and gives us that wee boost that the club are actively trying to get this rebuild on the road. When we have mad transfer sagas, we all start to worry about medicals or rejection or other teams coming in. Excellent to see something like this done without a * sniff from any other media, especially in this country.

 

I would like to think me saying the other day I wouldn’t buy a thing until they signed players has spurred them on

 

Thats it. Lennon is gone and the leak is gone? Suspicious

 

I said it a couple weeks ago, Celtic have two types of signings, months of long public drawn out drama and one you hear of an hour before they sign

 

Trequarista.

 

The Vušković and Starfelt stories have leaked some time ago, and neither has signed.

 

Untrustworthy European agents can explain those.

 

Let’s rein it in a bit. He looks good in the J League.

That being said, he is going to be the next Lubo.

 

He's obviously going to have to quarantine for a while. Can he be added to the CL squad even if he can't play the first game?

 

I'm no getting ahead of myself either, gonna give him time to settle.

but can see him breaking the 40 goal barrier by Christmas.

 

This forum should be used by researchers studying bipolar syndrome.

 

I don't want to unrealistically raise expectations, but he is clearly the Japanese Messi.

 

Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce that it has reached agreement to sign Japanese internationalist, Kyogo Furuhashi, from J1-League club Vissel Kobe, subject to the satisfaction of usual conditions and international clearance.

The 26-year-old forward is regarded as one of the most exciting talents in Japanese football and will join Celtic on a four-year deal.

He is the current top scorer in the J1 League – the top division in Japan – with 14 goals in 20 games, and he is a team-mate of Spanish football legend, Andres Iniesta, who captains the side.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou said: “We are delighted to bring Kyogo Furuhashi to Celtic. He is a player of real quality and clearly someone I know well.

“I think he will add something special to our squad and I am sure the way he plays will excite our supporters. We look forward to welcoming him to Celtic."

Kyogo Furuhashi has helped Vissel Kobe win the only two trophies in the club’s history so far – the Emperor’s Cup, when they beat Kashima Antlers 2-0 in the final on New Year’s Day 2020, and the subsequent Japanese Super Cup.

That match against the J1 league champions, Yokohama F Marinos, who were then managed by Ange Postecoglou, saw Kyogo Furuhashi score in the 3-3 draw, with Vissel Kobe winning the penalty shoot-out.

Now, having faced Ange Postecoglou’s side in Japan, Kyogo Furuhashi will now play under the Australian manager at Celtic

Kyogo Furuhashi, who made his international debut against Venezuela in November 2019, has scored three goals in six appearances for Japan.

 

You’ve seen nothing yet. Wait until you see the match thread next week against Midtjylland.
