Daizen Maeda

Excited about this lad.

 

Welcome..

@Paul67 we need a Japanese flag emoji

 

His pace is frightening. He can literally give someone a headstart and still beat them

 

Great how it says compulsory purchase clause included in the summer.

 

maeda and kyogo thats scary

 

Excited, but we may need to be a little patient with our new signings, they may not all hit the ground running like Kyogo...

Hopefully they do..

 

What position do they all play, this guy looks more a striker. So he probably gets subbed around with kyogo. Or does he play out wide, there's tough competition on our wings now!

 

Maeda has been playing off the Left Wing most of the season but has also played central striker and played off the right for Japan Olympic Team.

Hatate is mainly a centre midfielder, an attacking one but can play off either wing or has deputised when really needed at left back, wouldn’t expect him there for us though unless it’s an emergency.

Ideguchi is a more defensive minded centre midfielder but can play box to box.

 

Looks like he comes in from the left.

 

The 24-year-old forward is reuniting with Ange Postecoglou at Celtic, having previously played under the manager at Yokohama F. Marinos. He had originally joined Yokohama F. Marinos on loan in August 2020 following a previous loan spell with Maritimo in the Portuguese league, and by the end of the season had impressed Ange Postecoglou enough that the deal became a permanent one. And in the 2021 season, Daizen Maeda was joint top scorer in the J-League with 23 goals as Yokohama F. Marinos finished second and qualified for the AFC Champions League. He was also named in the J-League Best XI of the 2021 season and has been capped twice for the Japan national side. Daizen will join Celtic initially on loan but with a compulsory purchase clause included, meaning he will be with Celtic on a permanent basis from the summer on a long-term deal.






Daizen Maeda has decided to transfer to Celtic FC for a limited time (with a purchase option), so we will inform you with comments. The loan transfer period (with purchase option) will be until June 30, 2022.









This time, I will be transferring to Celtic FC for a limited time. Thank you for visiting the stadium or supporting me in front of the screen despite the corona disaster. I joined the 2020 season. I was really disappointed that I couldn't live up to the expectations of the fans and supporters, so I thought, "It's the 2021 season!" That's why I felt that sense of unity in the stadium when I scored the goal in the final round, and said, "I wasn't wrong that I came" and "I'm really happy to be able to play soccer at Yokohama F. Marinos." I was able to think. I am really grateful to my teammates, coaching staff, and strengthening people for understanding that feeling while I had the desire to take on the challenge again overseas. I'm going to bite into my own way so that I can make a good report! I'll come to BOSS! #Marinos Family "

 

Welcome.

 

welcome home

 

* delighted.

Already posted that on Hatate's and Ideguchi's thread.

Three signings before the window has opened.

Crazy times.

 

Buzzing to sign him. Been desperate for him to join since we were first linked.

Looks perfect for us.

 

I can’t wait to see him play for Celtic, this is the signing I wanted over the line the most.

 

This loan to buy situation has me stumped. If its a compulsory loan to buy then it just says to me its a permanent signing but the fella isnt getting the bump in wages for another year.

The only person that dosent benefit from this deal is the player? Who's his agent fs
