Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham this summer, has chosen to remain coy when asked about his future plans.
Furuhashi has been prolific since signing for the Bhoys from J League club Vissel Kobe back in 2021, with the 28-year-old finding the back of the net 34 times in 54 appearances in 2022-23 (Transfermarkt).
The Sun claimed earlier his month that Ange Postecoglou is keen on reuniting with the Japanese striker at the North London club.
However, the report explained that Spurs were not the 28-year-old’s only admirers, with Lazio and clubs in France and Spain alleged to be monitoring the player’s situation.
The Daily Record then reported last week that Furuhashi is also wanted by Burnley, with Vincent Kompany said to be intent on snapping up the striker ahead of the Clarets’ return to the top flight.
Furuhashi chooses not to comment on transfer links
However, the Celtic star has chosen to keep his cards close to his chest when asked about a potential summer transfer.
When quizzed on the speculation over his future, Furuhashi told The Daily Record: “No comment.
“The future will bring what the future brings. I’m only thinking about doing my best for the club I belong to now.
“I went to Celtic and achieved results. I hope to improve my technique and grow even more.”
Spurs Web Opinion
These are certainly not the words of someone who has made up his mind to remain at Celtic. At 28 years of age, the Japanese striker will likely jump at the chance to move to a top league.
However, I do not think Tottenham will make a move for Furuhashi irrespective of what happens regarding Kane’s future as the Lilywhites would want a player who is proven at the highest level.
