Celtic FC Transfer News: Tammy Abraham Emerges as Surprise Target to Replace Kyogo Furuhashi
Celtic FC are preparing for life without star striker Kyogo Furuhashi, who is on the brink of a £10 million switch to Stade Rennes. As the Hoops bid to secure a replacement for the Japanese international, a surprise target has emerged in the form of Tammy Abraham.
The England international has struggled to make an impact at AC Milan since joining the club last summer, scoring just twice in the current campaign. With speculation mounting that he could be sent back to Roma before the end of January, Celtic FC have been linked with a loan move for the 25-year-old striker.
Former Celtic star Andy Walker believes that the club could make a move for a high-profile target like Abraham to replace Kyogo. Speaking on the Go Radio Football Show, Walker said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Celtic brought in a big name player on loan – someone that we are all familiar with. Someone who has a good reputation, a good pedigree. Whether it’s for the long-term that remains to be seen.”
While Abraham’s arrival would undoubtedly provide a significant boost to Celtic’s attacking options, it remains to be seen whether the club can secure a deal for the England international. With Brondby’s Mathias Kvistgaarden emerging as a top target for the Hoops, it is unclear whether Abraham’s arrival would be a viable alternative.
Meanwhile, Odsonne Edouard’s name has been thrown into the mix as a potential replacement for Kyogo. The Frenchman, who is currently on loan at Leicester City from Crystal Palace, reportedly turned down the chance to join Atlanta United in a £15 million deal. However, FIFA rules would prevent Edouard from playing for another side in Europe this season, making a move to Celtic FC unlikely.
As the January transfer window enters its final stages, Celtic FC fans will be eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new striker to replace Kyogo. With Tammy Abraham emerging as a surprise target, the Hoops’ supporters will be watching developments with interest as the club bids to secure a deal for the England international.
In the world of football transfers, nothing is ever certain until the ink is dry on the contract. However, with Celtic FC reportedly interested in securing a loan deal for Abraham, the club’s fans will be hoping that the England international can provide a timely boost to their attacking options.
As the Hoops bid to secure a replacement for Kyogo, the club’s manager Brendan Rodgers will be keen to add to his squad before the January transfer window closes. With Abraham emerging as a surprise target, Celtic FC fans will be eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see the England international in action at Parkhead.
