The Hoops are eyeing several additions before the transfer deadline, with the 20-year-old close to becoming the latest arrival on a temporary move, with no option to buy.

 

It remains to be seen if Celtic act quickly to reinvest in the squad following Matt O’Riley’s impending departure. The Denmark international is close to sealing a record £30million move to Brighton.

Since joining Celtic three seasons ago from Vissel Kobe, Furuhashi has made 136 appearances for the club, scoring 73 goals and registering 16 assists in all competitions.
