Celtic confirmed the placement in the play-off round Champions League This season with a 1-0 victory over BSC Young Boys at Parkhead on Wednesday night.

Late goalkeeper Loris Benit, who put the ball into his net after defending the initial blow to Adam Idah, secured all three points with Hoops in Glasgow.

Now they have lost only one of their seven games in the European Campaign Competition 2024/25. After they dropped in a group stage last season.

The joy turned into a possible confusion for Celtic fans, however, shortly after the end of the Parkhead end, it was announced that Kyogo Furuhashi would sign for Rennes.

Sky Sports claims to be a Japanese international in advanced negotiations to join the French side for a A fee of £ 10 milliondespite the fact that he started on Wednesday night and the Hoops are approaching the business worth £ 8m sign Jota.

Jota, the Portuguese striker who first went to Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023, however, is not a centerford, and Celtic also allegedly looks at the number nine to enter and replace Kyog.

Celtic views a replacement for Kyoga

According to Scottish sunCeltic plans to sign the Sagittarius of Brondby Mathias Quistgaarden in response to Rennes’ attack on number eight.

The report claims that Hoopsi have longtime fans of the Danish centerfare and have tried to sign it in the summer and in January last year, but then they failed to agree on a fee for him.

It is said that Scottish giants are now ready to re -ignite their interest in the Denmark U21 team, in the light of Kyovo’s move to France worth £ 10m, and that they plan a new offer to test Brondby’s determination.

Scottish Sun adds That Eintracht Frankfurt, who was just sold by Omar Marmoush’s Premier League champion Manchester City, also in a race to secure Kvistgaarden services, which left the Denmark side in a great position to ask for big money for the attacker.

He also reveals that the 22-year-old striker is currently estimated at £ 8 million and that Celtic has enough money, given the sale of Kyoga, to launch an offer to sign a young striker before the end of the January transition period, which means that they could use the money obtained by Rennes’s contract For a Japanese international for financing sensation in Super League.

The Celtic Committee now has to ensure that it is composed by an offer that is attractive enough that Brondby accepts her before Frankfurt gets the opportunity to make a move for him in the coming days.

If they manage to agree to bring Quistgaarden to Glasgow for the second part of the season, it is important to recognize the player they will have to replace.

Furuhashi’s Form this season

The Japanese striker had a mixed season in front of the goal of Scotland Diva in all competitions, which may be best summarized by his performance on Wednesday night.

Kyogo was a permanent threat in the last third and had the ball three times in the goal, only twice excluded for offsids and one excluded due to an upgrade offense, while he also had two more shots who did not beat the goalkeeper.

This was somehow the story of his campaign because the striker was constantly in a position to score, but goals did not always come for various reasons.

As you can see in the table above, Kyogo was very expendable with the opportunities that appeared to him in the Champions League and the Premiership, missing a total of 20 ‘big opportunities’.

Celtic could now find an upgrade on a Japanese attacker and a player who would progress with Jota if I could get that job over the line, signing quistgaarden.

Why would Quistgaarden progress with ovot

First, if hoops can reach an agreement with Rennes to return Jota to Parkhead for another period, Brendan Rodgers He would have an incredibly powerful attacking talent available.

The 25-year-old magician has scored 28 goals and 26 assists In 83 appearances in all Celtic competitions in the 2021/22 campaign. and 2022/23. under Ange postecoglou.

Jota created a stunning 30 ‘big chances’ in 51. Starts in the Scottish Premiership for Bhoyse, while Nicolas Kuhn has created eight ‘great opportunities’ In the league during this period to the top of the attacker in that statistics.

Quistgaarden, who was described as “sensational” The U23 Skauta Antonia Manga would progress from the quality of the service that the former Benfice starlet could give him on his left flank.

Danish star, who scored 31 goal in 45 Games for the U19 level, he showed his ability ahead of the goal in Super League for his current club this season.

As you can see in the table above, Kvistgaarden was much clinical in the last third than Kyog, with only six missed ‘big opportunities’ with ten goals in 15 matches.

These statistics suggest that the Danish U21 International has the potential to offer more than the Japanese attacker on the upper edge of the field, as he is more effective in finding a five.

However, Quistgaarden will need the players around him to create these opportunities, which is why he would progress with Jota in the second part of the season, because the Portuguese wizard has a quality to constantly create ‘great opportunities’.

Therefore, Rodgers could improve their team by concluding contracts for Jot and Quistgaarden before the end of the January transition period.
