Celtic have endured a transitional period this season after appointing Ange Postecoglou as manager, but one of the more impressive things he has done is signing Kyogo Furuhashi who has hit the ground running for the Hoops.
He’s turned out for Celtic 22 times already this season, bagging himself a rather impressive 14 goals. He has also created five goals for his teammates (via TransferMarkt).
Such quality performances have led to him quickly becoming a fan favourite at Celtic Park along with other new signings such as Jota. Clearly he’s settled into life in Scotland quickly, adjusting after spending his entire career until then in his native Japan.
Will Celtic win the league this season?
Yes
No
And, following the club’s post on Furuhashi, fans took to Twitter to rave about the star man.
What the Celtic fans said about Furuhashi
“He has the entire league on strings and I’m loving it.” @Wizardo68289802
“Fantastic player, exceptional person, unbridled passion.” @R4tser
“Love him. Please extend his contract to a hundred years.” @Goggs87official
“What a player.” @David201130
“The purest soul.” @Nykaela88
“@Kyogo_Furuhashi, love u always x.” @chl0emcallister
Evidently the Japan international has been a real hit with the Celtic faithful, who can be shocked with a record as good as his.
The forward will be looking to add to his tally when Celtic take on Dundee United on Sky Sports at 12pm on Sunday the 5th of December.
The win will be huge for Postecoglou and his side, who already find themselves four points behind Rangers. The margin could rise to seven if the Gers win on Saturday when they take on Dundee at Ibrox.
