Now that the dust has settled on the Player of the Year Awards, the Celtic fans will be looking forward to the rest of the season and to a Scottish Cup Final in June.
With Kyogo Furuhashi winning a treble at the awards ceremony, it is clear that the Japanese striker has enjoyed a rich vein of form this season. Form that has, allegedly, attracted interest from clubs in the English Premier League.
When asked if he was confident about keeping Kyogo at Celtic, Ange Postecoglou revealed just how happy his striker is at the club.
Postecoglou said [Daily Record], “As confident as I am about keeping any other player.
“You always want to keep every player, but I have been involved in this game for so long that I know that’s not how football works. You prepare to keep everyone, you prepare to lose everyone.
“All you can try and do is make sure that the players are in a good space, are happy, are improving, they are enjoying their football. That is all you can do.
“You can’t chain them down, it is their football careers, their lives they have to make decisions on. What I do know is he is really happy at the football club, he loves playing for the football club, he loves the supporters, he loves his teammates. Hopefully, he is here for a very long time.”
Whilst a move to the riches of the English Premier League may appeal to some, it is not the be-all and end-all for every football player. Just ask Henrik Larsson.
Kyogo Furuhashi is clearly loving life at Celtic. The Japanese striker has formed an incredible bond with the fans. The celebration dance at the end of a win has become a bit of a tradition over the last two seasons.
And the bond he has with his teammates and the manager cannot be underestimated. Kyogo was quick to point out how important his teammates were to his success on Instagram last night.
Kyogo has taken Celtic to his heart. That is why the fans love him. And unless an offer comes in for him that is in the realms of stupid money, it seems that the fans will be enjoying the Japanese striker at Celtic Park for some time yet.
