Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi is good enough to shine in the Premier League next season.

That is the view of club legend John Hartson, who was asked about the Japanese striker being a target for English teams.

Furuhashi is being linked with a move to Tottenham, where recently departed Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou is now in charge.

“I think Kyogo may want another shot at the Champions League," Hartson told The Mail.

“He was brilliant in the Scottish Premiership last season. Some of his finishes for his 34 goals were world class and his movement is absolutely fantastic.

“But Celtic were not clinical enough in the Champions League last season. It was the goal scoring that let the team down.

“Their play up until the final third was great and they could have got a few results in Europe had they been more clinical.

“Kyogo will want to show he can go and do it at the highest level. I hope he puts that right next season. I certainly think he's very capable of doing that.

“Of course you want to keep all your best players. Ange might come back and test Celtic's resolve but hopefully Celtic can fend off any offers and Brendan Rodgers can show Kyogo that he really wants him as a key part of his setup.

“I wouldn't want Celtic to sell Kyogo but Tottenham have massive money so it's going to be up to Celtic, the board, the player, and Brendan Rodgers. But I do think Kyogo looks very happy at Celtic. He's just off a Treble so why wouldn't he be?"
