Japan forward Kyogo Furuhashi has joined Rennes from Celtic on a two-and-a-half-year deal, the French Ligue 1 club announced Monday.

The 30-year-old Japanese ends a three-and-a-half year spell with the Scottish champions, where he scored 85 goals and won eight trophies. It is understood that Rennes have paid a fee of nearly £10 million for Furuhashi, who has signed a two-and-a-half year contract with the Bretons.

Kyogo Furuhashi is reportedly set to leave Celtic in a £10million transfer. The news comes less than 12 hours after he helped the Scottish giants qualify for the Champions League play-off round.

Celtic were able to spend £26m this season alone on Adam Idah, Arne Engels and Auston Trusty. Jota is back. Tierney is coming back. Those won't be insignificant wages. Which begs the question: Just how far is this new big-spending Celtic board prepared to push the boat out?

Kvistgaarden has been a long-term target for the Hoops, having been linked back in the summer and last season, but the club are now looking to get a deal done for his services to replace Kyogo, who departed Celtic Park with 85 goals in 165 games in all competitions.
