Celtic man linked with summer transfer switch to Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are being linked with a summer swoop for Celtic star Kyogo Furuhashi. The attacker has been a hit in the Scottish Premiership since his move to Glasgow in 2021.

According to Football Insider, the Eagles are ‘keeping tabs’ on the Japan international with a view to a potential move at the end of this season. The report adds that the London club are in the market for ‘multiple’ attacking targets with Wilfried Zaha facing an uncertain long-term future at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace could see Kyogo as someone to provide more competition and depth in attacking areas ahead of the next campaign. The 28-year-old has scored 42 goals in 65 games in all competitions for Celtic to date and is a real fans’ favourite for Ange Postecoglou’s side.

He joined the Hoops from Vissel Kobe after firing 50 goals in 111 apperances for the J-League outfit and he has adapted well to life in a new country. The forward helped the Hoops win the title last term and they are well on course to do the same again this year.

Crystal Palace need to start thinking about their recruitment ahead of the summer and names will start to crop up over the next couple of months. They drew 1-1 with Brighton and Hove Albion this weekend with defender James Tomkins scoring their goal.
