Stan Collymore believes Ange Postecoglou should raid his former club for Japanese sensation Kyogo Furuhashi.
The Celtic striker has been a revelation since arriving in Glasgow two years ago. Bagging 27 league goals this season - and helping the Bhoys secure another Scottish Premiership - has supporters wondering whether the 28-year-old could cut it in England.
As expected when a manager jumps ship, ex-players are always going to be linked with an instant reunion. New Tottenham Hotspur boss Postecoglou was the man who unearthed Furuhashi from Japanese side Vissel Kobe.
Primarily an out-and-out striker, Furuhashi can also play on either flank or, occasionally, as a No.10. Eyebrows were raised when Japan decided to omit him from their World Cup squad in December.

Signing a striker would ease the burden on Spurs talisman Harry Kane. The England captain bagged a staggering 43% of Tottenham’s Premier League goals in 2022-23.
It remains to be seen whether Kane will stay in north London but, should he do so, the goalscoring burden will need to be shared if Spurs are to have a successful campaign. Former Liverpool and Aston Villa star Collymore - a Celtic fan - has urged Postecoglou to raid his former club.
"I think there are probably 10 defenders on their books, all earning good money," Collymore told the Sunday People. "And you have to ask yourself as to how many of the top clubs would want any of them?
"Up front, the club cannot go on relying on Harry Kane and Son Heung-min forever. They need some pace and vitality. Kyogo at Celtic is worth a punt."
