Kyogo Furuhashi tipped for Premier League step up as Celtic legend claims Japan hero could 'play for any team'

Celtic legend Ramon Vega has claimed that Hoops striker Kyogo Furuhashi is good enough to play for ANY team in the Premier League, amid links away from the club.

The Japanese striker won the Scottish Premiership Player of the Year, alongside Celtic's in-house award - with his 34 goals in 50 games helping Celtic march on to a domestic treble; their eighth in total, which took them past Rangers' seven and the world total as a result. But success breeds interest; Kyogo has already been linked with a move away from Parkhead, with Crystal Palace being credited with an interest previously.

However, Vega believes that Kyogo should aim higher than Roy Hodgson's Eagles, and whilst the obvious links to Tottenham are there amid Ange Postecoglou's departure to north London, the Celtic hero believes that Kyogo would fit into ANY Premier League side and dodge any doubts over his physicality due to his 'quality footballing brain'.
