Kyogo Furuhashi wants to engrave his name into Celtic history.
The Japanese striker has enjoyed two spectacular seasons at Parkhead with 54 goals. Kyogo has been touted as a potential transfer target for new Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, who took him to Glasgow from Vissel Kobe. But the hitman says he has been inspired by trying to repeat the heroics of former Celtic compatriot Shunsuke Nakamura .
Kyogo, back in Japan preparing for national team duty after a recall from coach Hajime Moriyasu, said: “Shunsuke is the Celtic legend. When I joined, I honestly had no idea that I could be able to catch up with his achievements. I’ve been trying to get people to remember my name at Celtic. I’ve been playing hard, hoping my name will be engraved in the history of Celtic one day. Now I feel like that I could catch up with Shunsuke a little.”
