Kyogo Furuhashi is massively enjoying himself at his new club Celtic, much to everyone’s delight.
The summer signing had never played outside of Japan before moving to Glasgow, so a period of settling and adjustment on and off the pitch was expected.
However, with 13 goals already in all competitions, he has become a hero with the Celtic support very early on.

And in his latest interview in Japan, it sounds like there’s a mutual feeling of love developing here.
As quoted by The Daily Record, Kyogo said: “At Celtic, I have been playing as a striker and I am really enjoying it and I am scoring a lot of goals. But I have to give the credit to my teammates at Celtic because they create so many chances for me. I have developed a really good understanding with them and I know when they are going to pass to me.
“I feel comfortable and we are getting results. I think I’m in a position where I can show my characteristics and strengths. I am playing with confidence at the moment.
“Celtic give me a lot of freedom and they put a lot of trust in me. I don’t want to betray the trust they have given me. I play with a smile on my face there.
“I am obviously scored many more goals for Celtic than I have for Japan. I think you can explain that because I am usually playing in a different position for the national team. I know I need to score more goals for Japan though and it would be nice to start against Oman this week.”
It’s fantastic to hear how much Kyogo is enjoying himself at the Bhoys given his importance to the team.

His form has been so good that some fans are already speculating how long we can hold on to him. But it doesn’t sound that kind of chat is even going through his mind at the moment. He wants to repay Celtic for the faith shown by bringing him to Europe.
He’s in the right place at the right time, working under the right manager. The sky is the limit for our Kyogo.
