Tottenham are set to finalise the deal for Ange Postecoglou as their new manager.
It seems that the 57-year-old manager has agreed terms with the Premier League club and the move could be made official soon.
Naturally, Tottenham are being linked with players from Celtic and the Japanese striker Kyogo Furuhashi is reportedly one of the names linked with a move to the Premier League.
The 28-year-old has been a key player for Celtic under Postecoglou and he has 34 goals across all competitions this season.
Speaking on the links to Tottenham, Brian Laudrup has now revealed that it wouldn’t be surprising if Postecoglou decided to take the 28-year-old with him to Tottenham. The Japanese international has the quality to thrive in the Premier League and Laudrup believes that he would be a success at Tottenham.
Laudrup also added that Postecoglou was adamant about signing the 28-year-old during his time at Celtic and he could be keen on a reunion with the player once again.
He said to Daily Record: “His admiration for Kyogo Furuhashi as both a player and a person is clearly immense. Postecoglou has said that, when he was working in Japan, he already knew that he wanted to make the striker his first signing if he ever got a job in Europe. No matter which club or country it was, Furuhashi was coming with him.
“Spurs are going to need a new forward. If not to replace Kane immediately, then at least to give another credible option in that department. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Furuhashi ended up joining Postecoglou in London at some point. And I could see him being a success, too.”
Spurs need to add more quality and depth to their attack and the 28-year-old should prove to be a quality acquisition. He will add goals and creativity in the final third. Players like Richarlison were brought in to help Harry Kane in the attack but the Brazilian has scored just once in the Premier League this season.
Furuhashi could prove to be an upgrade next season. The Japanese forward is at the peak of his powers right now and he will look to make his mark in the Premier League.
