Japanese striker Kyogo’s recent decision to extend his contract with Celtic until at least 2027 was because of the strong bond he has formed with the team and the fans, the player has said.
Kyogo has been a sensation since joining Celtic two years ago for £4.5 million. His performances on the pitch have endeared him to the Celtic fans, and his decision to stay at the club for the long term is a clear indication of his belief in the club’s ambitions and his desire to contribute to its success.
Speaking at a press conference in Japan ahead of Celtic’s encounter with Gamba Osaka, Kyogo shed light on his reasons for committing his future to Celtic. He said, “There are lots of people at Celtic who believe in me and love me and need me. I was very happy when I was offered a contract extension and I want to repay the favour with results.”
His commitment to “repay the favour with results” is a promising sign for Celtic fans, who will be eagerly anticipating more stellar performances from the Japanese striker in the years to come, with the expectation for him to step up to the Champions League level.
The securing of Kyogo’s long-term future was an essential piece of business for Celtic, especially considering the growing interest in the striker from other clubs. His decision to stay at Celtic sends a strong message about the club’s ambition and the loyalty of its players.
