Ange Postecoglou 'set to spark' Kyogo Celtic transfer battle with Europe's top five leagues keen

Ange Postecoglou is set to spark a transfer chase for Kyogo Furuhashi with teams across Europe's five top leagues keen, according to a report.

The former Celtic gaffer has officially made the move to Tottenham after putting pen to paper on a four-year deal and The Scottish Sun reports that the 57-year-old is ready to begin a £20million scramble to sign Scotland's Player of the Year this summer.

Following his arrival at Celtic, Postecoglou brought in the Japan star from Vissel Kobe in a £4.6million deal and the move has been worth every single penny with the hitman firing 34 goals in all competitions last term as the Hoops completed a domestic Treble. His form landed him all the individual awards including his own treble at Celtic's awards night.

The 28-year-old still has two years to run on his contract with Parkhead chiefs not under pressure to sell the hitman - who has become a real fans' favourite in Glasgow.

Celtic sold Odsonne Edouard to Crystal Palace for £15m two years ago, but the French striker only had one year left on his contract at that time.

Harry Kane only has one year left on his Tottenham deal and one of Postecoglou's first tasks will be to convince the England captain to stay in North London.

Spurs may well not sell and allow him to run down his contract should he decided against an extended deal.
