Celtic legend Neil Lennon has questioned if Kyogo Furuhashi is the right player for Tottenham.

The Hoops forward is being linked with a move to North London this summer.

Furuhashi may join former Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham, as the Australian is a huge fan of the Japanese forward.

'I have my doubts, yes,' Lennon told The Mail of a player who scored 34 goals last season.

II don't think for one minute that he could replace Harry Kane, for example, if that was to be the case.

He's a good player. I like his style. I'm just not sure he could play consistently at the highest level in the Premier League on a week-to-week basis.

The other thing is that you've got Kane there at the minute, you've got (Heung-Min) Son, (Dejan) Kulusevski, Richarlison.

These are world-class players that he'd need to break into if he goes to Spurs. I think he could play in the Premier League but maybe just not at the top end at the minute."
