A Celtic conspiracy to plan to achieve a greater deal than Idah

Just days after sealing their place in the Champions League play-offs, CelticHopes for further advancement in the competition may have been dashed, amidst the news that the goal scoring talisman, Kyogo furuhashiis set to join the Ligue 1 side this month.

That an immediate £10m move will bring to an end a stellar three-and-a-half-year stay in Glasgow for the Japanese sensation, with the 30-year-old set to 85 goals in 165 games for the club since he arrived as a relative unknown in the summer of 2021.

The head of a furious attacking unit and under Ange Postecoglou and Brendan Rodgersthe departing striker simply terrorized Premiership defenses with his innate movement and finishing skills, after being Rangers’ special whip with Eight goals in 17 meetings with Celtic’s old rivals.

Although the blow of that impending switch is somewhat softened by the fact that former Kyogoo team-mate Jota has returned to Parkhead in the opposite direction, the need for a quality replacement at center forward is glaring, especially with Adam Idah now he failed to score in the league from the end of November.

Have saw off £9.5 million At the Irish over the summer, the hoops could look good to make an even bigger investment ahead of the February deadline, in the hunt for Kyog’s replacement.

Celtic’s potential replacement for kyogo

As reported by a football insider, Celtic’s move for the aforementioned Jota could follow Late approach for sensation Brondby, Matthias Kvistgaardenwith the 22-year-old intended as the male to potentially fill Kyog’s void.

According to the report, the Danish striker is likely to cost in the region of £10m if his current side are to sanction an exit, with the figure set to eclipse the fee that was lavished on Idaho just a few months ago.

The piece followed a further update from Sky Sports Reporter Anthony Josephhinting that an offer could be in the works, with the reporter revealing that the “Celtics are expected to make another approach” for the number nine.

Why Kvistgaarden could shine at Celtic

There will no doubt be excitement at the return of Jot, but the Portuguese may not have his own way with the return of his starting midfielder, especially after enduring a desperate last 18 months.

25-year-old-who has scored only six goals for al ittihad and Rennes, combined, since they will leave Celtic – they will have to either drop the ruthless Daizen Maeda on the left flank or the magnificent Nicolas Kuhn on the opposite side, two men who have scored 31 goals between them this season.

Jota, therefore, will have to change his timing, although in the case of Kvistgaarden, the young Dane could be directly installed as the focal point of the attack, with the aim of forming a particularly fruitful partnership with the creative genius that is Kuhn.

Indeed, Celtics’ German wizard has recorded 12 assists alongside his 16 goals in all competitions this season, ensuring he can be the man to provide regular quality service for Kvistgaarden through the middle.

Kuhn – who has created eight ‘great chances’ In the Premiership this season and has averaged two key passes per game – he has that flair for picking out his team-mates in the final third, sliding the ball through with the stick of his left foot. Kvistgaarden would probably be licking his lips.

As he has shown this season, the Brondby Man certainly knows how to finish when he gets the feel, having scored 14 times in all competitionswhile he made just 15 outs ten times, missing only six ‘big chances’. Kyogo, by comparison, this season has ten times in 22 Premiership matches, while missing 17 “big chances”.

Intended to be “funny signing“For Celtic and Rodgers writer Kai Watson, the £10m man could be a risk worth taking in terms of hoops, and that’s chalk 55 goals and assists in 110 games For his current side, at a ratio of one face-off in every two appearances.

It could be exciting times for those at Celtic Park, even as the spectacular chapter ends with Kyogo’s departure …
