Former Celtic star Charlie Nicholas reckons those comparing Kyogo to Henrik Larsson are missing the point and urged punters to just enjoy the Japanese marksman.
The talismanic striker has netted 30 goals in the season and his uncanny knack of netting on the biggest of occasions has drawn favourable comparisons with the man dubbed the 'King of Kings'. But Nicholas is adamant it's futile to try and compare the duo and points to the Super Swede's seven-year reign as the best player in Scottish football as to why.
And the outspoken pundit – a major fan of Ange Postecoglou – admits the Australian's own stance over lofty links is the perfect approach when probed. Speaking in his Express column, the 60–year–old said: "Kyogo Furuhashi has been a big player in Celtic's title win but it is still too early for him to be mentioned in the same breath as Henrik Larsson. The Japanese striker was hardly in the game at Hearts but still came up with the opening goal in the win that clinched the championship. He is very much a key player and component of Ange Postecoglou's Celtic team but you can't compare him to Larsson.
