Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou hopes to further utilise his knowledge of the J-League to strengthen his squad but feels the January transfer window is the best time to strike.
The former Yokohama Marinos head coach quickly secured the signing of Kyogo Furuhashi after arriving in Glasgow and the Japan forward has netted six goals in his first five starts.
“I have been looking at it very closely,” Postecoglou said. “I know the Japanese market very well.
“It’s a tricky time because traditionally they are still mid-season. There’s a lot of players I would love to have a look at closely and bring over but I know it would be almost impossible to get them out because clubs are still playing for the league or cup or (AFC) Champions League competitions. So they are very reluctant to let them go mid-season.
“Traditionally it’s always been easier to get them out in our winter break, which is their end of season. There’s a lot of talent there that people haven’t realised.
“It’s not to say they are all going to be of Kyogo’s level because I was super confident about him. He has dominated that league for the last three or four years. I was surprised he hadn’t left earlier to be honest, we were kind of lucky he stuck around for a bit.
“But there is definitely more talent there and it is definitely a market we are looking at closely.”
