Kyogo Celtic form will have 'top English clubs watching' as star tipped for Hoops legend status

Pat Nevin believes Kyogo Furuhashi's Celtic performances will have English Premier League tongues wagging - and that the forward may be one of the club's best ever players.

The Japanese forward has been a revelation since arriving from Vissel Kobe last summer, and despite suffering injury issues, has scored 26 times in 39 matches, netting six in as many games this term. His latest test is one of his toughest, facing Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Former Scotland international and Chelsea winger Nevin believes the Hoops won't be thrashed in the match against the European champions, with Kyogo the key to it and Matt O'Riley also being highlighted for praise. But so good has his form been, the 58-year-old believes Kyogo is on a path to Celtic greatness and many top clubs down south will be watching. Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, Nevin says that the Japanese star is someone he loves watching.
