Celtic target's boss addresses transfer speculation
It was reported at the end of last month that the Parkhead club are one of a number of sides interested in a move for the Japanese defender. With Greg Taylor on the brink of joining Greek outfit PAOK, Brendan Rodgers needs back-up for the returning Kieran Tierney, and Kosugi could be a potential option. Read more: He plies his trade with Swedish top-flight side Djurgarden. Their manager, Honkavaara, recently addressed the transfer interest in his left back: "There have been rumours all along," he said of Kosugi [Sportbladet via RecordSport]. "When we had a good season in Europe, there was a lot of interest. "He's a good player, and if we lose him, we have to find a replacement. "We've sold for quite a lot of money. I hope we can spend some money too. We'll see how it goes. It's been good money, but now maybe it's time to build something." Kosugi helped Djurgarden reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Conference League last season, where they were ultimately defeated by Chelsea, who went on to win the competition. The 19-year-old only moved to Sweden just over a year ago, but has established himself as a regular with Djurgarden. His team currently sit ninth in the Allsvenskan, 12 games into the 2025 campaign.
