Japan forward Keisuke Honda insists he remains as focused as ever despite missing out on a transfer to AC Milan last week, and denies a January switch to the Italian powerhouse is a foregone conclusion.
Honda, who scored Japan's third goal in a 3-1 friendly win over Ghana in Yokohama on Tuesday night, looked set for a summer move to Milan with only four months left to run on his contract with Russian side CSKA Moscow.
A late complication scuppered the deal before last Monday's transfer deadline and forced Honda to stay put until he becomes a free agent in January, but the 27-year-old is keeping his options open and revealed he may not end up at the San Siro when the window reopens.
