Kyogo opens up on Celtic transfer exit as striker admits ‘no one knows the future’
HOOPS forward Kyogo has remained tight-lipped over his Parkhead future.
The Celtic striker has been linked with various Premier League clubs in recent months including Ange Postecoglou‘s Tottenham.
Kyogo has spoken out about the transfer interest coming his way though and insists he hopes to continue playing with the Scottish champions for years to come.
But the Japanese international admits “no one knows the future” amid all the ongoing speculation.
The 28-year-old also responded to the various Scottish Premiership critics too.
Japan head coach Hajime Moriyasu blamed the standard of the Scottish top flight as his reason for not calling the striker and his fellow Hoops team-mates for international duty.
Daizen Maeda has been a regular in the side and starred at the World Cup but others have missed out in recent selections.
Kyogo scored on his return to the team last month though after being called up for their double header against El Salvador and Peru.
Writing for Japanese outlet Sponichi, the forward said: “As I keep scoring goals and Celtic continues to win.
“I’ve heard that news was released in Japan that the level of Scottish Premiership is recognised as ‘not high’. Certainly, top teams play very good football, but Celtic also had a lot of tough games.
“It’s natural for various people to have various opinions. But on the contrary, it means that people are paying attention to my play and Celtic, so I think it positively.
“I actually have valuable experiences at Celtic, and Celtic is the club with great history.
“There are many players who want to play here for as long as possible, including me.
“But no one knows the future. Players may be injured or are transferred. And some players may be retiring.
“I never know about my future, so I just want to enjoy every moment at Celtic.
“But I still have room for development. I want to be a player who can score more goals.
“I will continue to work hard next season so that I can become a more powerful player.”
