TOTTENHAM want Ange Postecoglou to bring Japan striker Kyogo Furuhashi with him from Celtic.
The prolific marksman, who netted in the Scottish Cup final against Inverness, is already on the Spurs list as a partner, cover or even eventual replacement for club talisman Harry Kane.

And if Postecoglou, 57, agrees to become Tottenham chief this week then that would vastly increase their chances of landing the Japanese ace.
Furuhashi, 28, would be ideal for Spurs and they are prepared to pay around £25-30million to make him a major capture.
Best known as Kyogo, the Hoops star has been one of the major successes in Postecoglou’s time in Scotland — with 23 goals in 31 league games.
And, at his age, the chance of the Premier League may also be too good to refuse.
But there are other clubs in England with Kyogo in their sights because of his finishing, clever running and positive attitude.
Postecoglou is currently waiting for permission to speak to Spurs supremo Daniel Levy.
The Australian enjoys being boss at Celtic but may be open to a new challenge if the job is right.
West Ham boss David Moyes has been backed as the front-runner for the Celtic post if Postecoglou leaves.

But Moyes insists he’s blanking it all out ahead of Wednesday’s Europa Conference League Final against Fiorentina.
The Scottish tactician said: “I’ve never even considered it. I’m West Ham manager and I’m really enjoying my period here.
“I’m hopefully trying to continue growing a really good football club so I’ve not given it any consideration.
“Through my years I’ve been linked with lots of jobs at different times but I have to say I’m really happy at the moment and I’m settled where I am.
“The club have been so good to me and we’re enjoying the journey we’re on.”
