Ange Postecoglou makes interesting comment on Kyogo Furuhashi

Ange Postecoglou believes that there is more to come from Kyogo Furuhashi.

The burning question for many Celtic fans this weekend is whether that will be under his current manager at Celtic?

Since Thursday morning when Arne Slot turned down interest from Spurs to sign a new contract with Feyenoord there has been a glut of speculation that Postecoglou is now the first choice of the Spurs board to become their new manager.

At a couple of media conferences Postecoglou has straight batted the question, looking no further forward than preparing his side for Saturday’s Scottish Cup Final against Inverness Caley Thistle.

I think for a striker coming into a new country the second year is always a bit tougher. It is fair to say that he caught a few people by surprise last year, they knew what they were getting this year.

If anything he has got better this year, it is just his movement, his work rate, attitude and the quality of his finishing, you saw that yesterday as well. There is more to come from him I have no doubt because he has such a great attitude.

He has really enjoyed his time in Scotland, in the Premiership and obviously with the Football Club, it’s a credit to him.

Kyogo missed tonight’s SFWA Player of the Year award due to the injury he suffered early in the second half of the 5-0 win over Aberdeen.

Normally that sort of issue would dominate the build up to a cup final but the situation at Spurs seems to be one that is concerning many Celtic fans.

It is more than two months since Antonio Conte was sacked, today Spurs finished their EPL campaign in eighth place, missing out on European football for the first time in more than a decade.
