# Celtic: Fans buzz at Kyogo Furuhashi confirmation

**Celtic have [officially](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1421132241095335943) completed a deal for Japan international Kyogo Furuhashi.**

The Hoops announced the forward and his green and white shirt number on social media, which led to a number of Celtic fans delighted.

The club [revealed](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/july/Celtic-delighted-to-sign-Japanese-internationalist-Kyogo-Furuhashi/) earlier this month that an agreement had been reached with J1-League club Vissel Kobe for the 26-year-old.

A deal was subject to international clearance at the time, but a move has now [officially](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/july/Kyogo-Furuhashi-joins-Celtic/) gone through.

Furuhashi, who netted [49](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kyogo-furuhashi/leistungsdaten/spieler/489463) times in [111](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kyogo-furuhashi/leistungsdaten/spieler/489463) appearances for his previous employers, has penned a [four-year deal](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/july/Kyogo-Furuhashi-joins-Celtic/) at Parkhead and will wear the [number eight](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/july/Kyogo-Furuhashi-joins-Celtic/) jersey, previously of Scott Brown.

Celtic’s new signing paid tribute to Brown after taking the number, [describing](https://www.celticfc.com/news/2021/july/Kyogo-Furuhashi-joins-Celtic/) him as ‘one of the club’s true heroes’.
