Neil Lennon explains Kyogo Celtic to Tottenham doubts as he labels Kieran Tierney return 'long shot'

Neil Lennon has expressed doubts over whether Kyogo Furuhashi could cut it at Tottenham as he labelled a Kieran Tierney return to Celtic as a 'long shot'.

The former Hoops gaffer has previously expressed how big a fan he is of the Japan international, who netted 34 goals in all competitions for the Scottish champions last season. Ange Postecoglou's move to North London has sparked chat over a potential reunion for the duo with Lennon certain he would NOT replace Harry Kane if that was to be the case. He is a big fan and believes he could play in the English Premier League - just not at the top end at this moment in time.

Speaking to Mail Sport, he said: "I have my doubts, yes. I don't think for one minute that he could replace Harry Kane, for example, if that was to be the case. He's a good player. I like his style. I'm just not sure he could play consistently at the highest level in the Premier League on a week-to-week basis.
