Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou on first sighting of Kyogo Furuhashi as he makes 'more to come' vow

Ange Postecoglou has opened up on his first sighting of Kyogo Furuhashi and knew straight away he'd sign him if he took a job in Europe.

The Celtic boss moved quickly to bring the PFA Scotland Player of the Year and Hoops' Players' Player and Player of the Year to the club and the rest is history. 30 goals and counting this season with four games still to come including the Scottish Cup Final as the champions bid to land a domestic Treble and a fifth trophy out of six in the last two seasons.

During his stint in charge of Yokohama F. Marinos he came up against his top striker with his defenders telling him just how 'unbelievable' the Vissel Kobe man was. Between his own judgment and the feedback from his players, he kept tabs on him in every single game and even if it wasn't at Celtic he got his big break in Europe, he was signing Kyogo for whatever team he would have joined.
