Well that was a lovely wee surprise. I knew he was coming but I love the way we have went about our business and and in complete contrast to the Lawell years

 

Celtic Football Club is delighted to announce that it has reached agreement to sign Japanese central defender, Yuki Kobayashi, subject to international clearance.

The 22-year-old player is regarded as a hugely exciting talent and will join Celtic from J-League club Vissel Kobe, on a five-year deal.

Yuki will be able to join up with his new Celtic team mates from December 1, 2022 and will be eligible to play competitively once the registration window opens in January 2023.

Speaking to the official Celtic website, Yuki Kobayashi said: "I am so excited to be joining Celtic and I am really looking forward to this wonderful opportunity.

"I will be giving everything to try and be successful with the Club.

'Right across the world, everyone knows what a special club Celtic is and it will be a real honour to wear this fantastic jersey.'

“The work of Ange Postecoglou is also really well-known in Japan after he had such a great time in the J League, and as well as being part of Celtic I can’t wait to work with him as a coach and the great team of players he has already developed.

“I know that Celtic over so many years has such a brilliant track record of success and I now want to play my part in bringing more great moments to the Club and our fans.

"I would like to thank Vissel Kobe sincerely for all the support that has been given to me in the early part of my career and now I look forward to embracing this exciting new challenge with Celtic, one of the world’s great football clubs.”

 

Yaaassss

I expect a clean sheet today for Japan then if there that good.

 

Excellent, using this break to boost the team, squad will get a shot in the arm.when they return to training.

 

Welcome Yuki

 

No problem at all

 

Ange Postecoglou is delighted with his new signing, and believes that in Yuki Kobayashi, Celtic have acquired another very good young player with plenty of experience and potential.

Speaking to the official website, the Celtic manager said: “We’re really pleased. Yuki is someone that we’ve been following for a while and it was a great opportunity to bring him in. He’s a left-sided centre-back, and they’re hard to find.

'He’s still young but he’s already had three of four years of senior experience and he’s really keen to come across and test himself in Europe.'

“I think we saw last year that bringing in guys nice and early gives us the opportunity to bed them in, in that six-month period of the second half of the season, and we’re really looking forward to having him as part of the group.

“He’s at a really good age where he’s already had some great experience but with great potential ahead of him.

“He’s a good young man who wants to have a real crack at it here in Europe and for us it’s a great opportunity to invest in a young player again.”

I have decided to transfer to Celtic FC.

This season ended with a disappointing result, and I wondered if I should transfer at this time, but playing in Europe has been my dream and goal since I started playing soccer.
I cannot thank the club enough for understanding the challenge at this timing and sending me off.

Ever since I entered soccer school in kindergarten, I have been brought up at the VISSEL KOBE academy.
I sincerely appreciate Vissel Kobe and Vissel Academy.
That's why I want to show the world the value of the Vissel Academy, and I want to be a player that the Academy's players aim for.

To all our fans and supporters, thank you for always supporting us with your passionate support. It was a special thing for me to be able to sing the Kobe hymn after the game with everyone on the pitch, which I have been singing since I was little.

I have a dream to make Vissel Kobe the number one club in Japan and Asia.
From now on, I will do my best to grow more and more so that I can return the favor to everyone involved in this club, and to deliver success to everyone.

I would appreciate it if you could continue to watch over me.

I'm going!

 

5 year contract, I hope this guy is brilliant.

 

Youkoso
