Breaking News: Everton FC Announce the Signing of Celtic Prolific Forward Kyogo Furuhashi
In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through both English and Scottish football, Everton FC has confirmed the signing of Celtic’s prolific forward Kyogo Furuhashi. The Japanese striker, who has been in sensational form for the Bhoys, has agreed to a four-year contract at Goodison Park, with the deal reportedly worth £15 million, a significant transfer for both clubs.
Furuhashi, 28, has been one of Celtic’s standout players since joining from Vissel Kobe in 2021. Known for his incredible pace, technical skill, and sharp finishing, he quickly became a fan favorite in Glasgow, helping the club secure numerous trophies under manager Ange Postecoglou. His remarkable ability to find the back of the net, combined with his work ethic and versatility in the forward line, has made him one of the top strikers in the Scottish Premiership.
Over the past season, Furuhashi netted 30 goals in all competitions, a testament to his ability to consistently deliver in front of goal. His performances in the UEFA Europa League and Scottish League Cup further highlighted his quality, drawing attention from top European clubs. Everton’s decision to act quickly and secure his services demonstrates the club’s ambition to reinforce their attacking options ahead of the second half of the Premier League season.
Speaking after the transfer was confirmed, Furuhashi expressed his excitement about the move. “I’m delighted to join Everton, a club with a rich history and passionate fans. I’m looking forward to the challenge of playing in the Premier League and contributing to the team’s success. I have enjoyed my time at Celtic, but now I am ready for a new chapter in my career,” he said.
Everton manager Sean Dyche was equally enthusiastic about the arrival of Furuhashi, describing him as a “perfect fit” for his tactical setup. “Kyogo is a player we’ve admired for a long time. His movement, intelligence, and ability to finish are exceptional. We believe he will add another dimension to our attack, and we are excited to see what he can achieve in the Premier League,” Dyche commented.
The signing of Furuhashi is seen as a major step forward for Everton, who are looking to strengthen their squad and move up the Premier League table. Fans will be hoping that the Japanese international can replicate his scintillating form from Celtic and help the Toffees reach new heights this season.
