Ange Postecoglou still has work to do this transfer window but when it comes to the January window the Celtic manager is already looking ahead.
The former Marino’s boss dipped into the J-league to bring in Kyogo Furuhashi this window and so far the player has been a revelation.
Asked if he was looking at more players from the league he once won, the hoops boss confirmed he would like to do so BUT bringing them in this window wasn’t on the cards.
🗣 Ange Postecoglou says he may need to wait until January to bring in other J-League players.

Celtic have not really touched into the Japanese market much. The last time they did to success was back under Gordon Strachan when the former boss brought in Namakura.
Kyogo is on his way to be a Celtic superstar – the overriding thought from many is there has to be more untapped talent in the Japanese top flight.
Ange will know it very well and will have an idea of some of the players who he could bring in.
It will be exciting to see what the manager has up his sleeves.
