Man City shortlist Celtic striker Furuhashi as Alvarez replacement
Manchester City are eyeing Celtic striker Kyogo Furuhashi.
The Athletic says City see the Japan international as a direct replacement for Julian Alvarez after his sale to Atletico Madrid.
Furuhashi moved to Celtic three years ago in a £4.5 million transfer from J-League club Vissel Kobe. At Vissel Kobe, he worked under City No. 2 Juan Manuel Lillo.
With Celtic, Furuhashi has scored 73 goals in 135 games.
Interestingly, the 29-year-old striker recently changed agents and his connection with Lillo could prove key in any move to City.
