Celtic to Find Another Kyogo by Handing Over New Role to Celtic Star
Celtic FC, the Scottish Premiership giants, are on the hunt for their next Kyogo Furuhashi, the Japanese sensation who has been a revelation since joining the club last summer. The 27-year-old forward has scored 16 goals in 24 appearances, and his incredible form has led to speculation about his future at Parkhead.
However, instead of trying to replace Kyogo with another high-profile signing, Celtic are opting to develop their own talent and hand over a new role to one of their existing stars. The club has identified 22-year-old Scottish midfielder, David Turnbull, as the perfect candidate to fill the void left by Kyogo’s potential departure.
Turnbull, who joined Celtic from Motherwell in 2019, has already shown glimpses of his quality, scoring 10 goals in 55 appearances for the Hoops. His pace, skill, and vision on the pitch have earned him a reputation as one of the most exciting young players in Scottish football.
Under the guidance of Celtic manager, Ange Postecoglou, Turnbull has been working tirelessly to improve his game, and the Greek-Australian tactician believes the young midfielder has the potential to become a key player for the club.
"David has been fantastic for us, and we’re excited to see him take on a more prominent role in the team," Postecoglou said in a recent interview. "He’s got the skills, the work rate, and the mentality to succeed at this level. We’re confident that he’ll thrive in his new role and become a mainstay of the team."
So, what exactly is Celtic planning to do with Turnbull? The answer lies in their attacking strategy. Postecoglou’s side has often been criticized for their lack of width and creativity in the final third, but Turnbull’s arrival is set to change all that.
The midfielder’s pace and agility will allow him to play as a false nine, dropping deep and creating space for the likes of Liel Abada and Jota to make runs in behind. His vision and passing range will also enable him to pick out the likes of Odsonne Édouard and Albian Ajeti with precision, creating scoring opportunities for the Celtic frontmen.
In short, Turnbull’s new role will be to provide the creativity and width that Celtic have been missing, allowing Kyogo to focus on what he does best – scoring goals. It’s a clever move by Postecoglou, who knows that developing his own talent is often more effective than trying to replace a star player with another big-name signing.
As Celtic look to build on their impressive start to the season, the appointment of Turnbull as the new focal point of their attack could be the key to unlocking their full potential. With the 22-year-old’s pace, skill, and vision, the Hoops are confident that they can find another Kyogo, and continue to dominate the Scottish Premiership for years to come.
