Celtic fans weren’t impressed when the Daily Record decided to offer a comparison for new signing Kyogo Furuhashi.
They might both play on the wing but that is about where the comparisons end between Ryan Kent and Celtic’s new signing,
Very few players have real comparisons, from the You Tube clips searched throughout the day Furuhashi looks to have a bit of everything with a very definite goal threat.
If comparisons have to be made perhaps mentioning Scott Sinclair, Patrick Roberts or Jonny Hayes would be more relevant to Celtic fans as they try to assess their new £4.6m signing.
Furuhashi will say his farewell to Vissel Kobe on Sunday before flying to Scotland to begin his new career at Celtic where he will be expected to make an instant.
In just over a fortnight Celtic open their SPFL campaign away to Hearts, in 2016 Sinclair used that fixture to announce his arrival at Celtic. If Furuhashi makes a similar impact to the former Aston Villa man then he’ll be in very good company.
Iniesta and Villa showed him the way ?
Offers a Ryan Kent style threat in the final third ?
A player who wants to find his own role amid Nakamura comparisons ?

That’s it Gaby. Follow the narrative and try to help punt one of their players off the back of our signing. ??

Going by the players goals and pace he is closer to Clark Kent that a poor comparable Ryan Kent?

‘A player who wants to find his own role amid Nakamura comparisons’
Hold on to we compare him with a player from Rangers cause………… Reasons.
Iniesta and Villa played with him, Nakamura had a successful spell at Celtic. What has Ryan Kent got to do with any part of this?
