    Daizen Maeda is reportedly close to becoming Celtic 's second signing from the J League this season, with a deal lined up for the Yokohama F Marinos ace.

    Forward Kyogo Furuhashi has been a huge with with fans since his summer arrival, with the 26-year-old bagging nine goals in 13 games since his move.


    Manager Ange Postecoglou has an intimate knowledge of the Japanese market following his spell with Marinos, and The Times reports that a deal is close for one of his former players.

    Maeda, who has hit 18 goals and provided three assists this season, already has experience in Europe after a loan spell at Maritimo.

    Another forward, the 24-year-old can play through the middle or off the left and has been capped twice by Japan

    Postecoglou has already confirmed he'll look to tap into the J League market as the rebuild continues in an attempt to wrest back the Premiership crown.



    He said: "That is one of the markets we will be looking at. Obviously I know it well and they will get to the end of their season which is a good time if there's anyone who will fit into our set-up.



    We will be looking everywhere. The last window was frantic.




    This time we want to make sure that we are planning well in advance.

    "We have already identified targets and begun discussions before we get to January so that we can conclude deals a lot quicker than we did in the previous window."

    This is the one I was hoping for when Ange said we'll go back to Japan when their season finishes in January. Yes please

    @Officer Doofy will cream themselves :ange:
    Make Jota permanent and add this lad and that’s a pretty formidable front line.

    LW Jota/Maeda/Kyogo
    Striker Kyogo/GG/Maeda/Ajeti
    RW Forrest/Abada/Mikey

    Then strengthen the midfield and LB and we are in business. Also a backup keeper too.

    It's like he's permanently on * mode.

    This would be a huge signing.

    Some newspapers have been reading this forum, and connected it to Ange's statement.

    We're relevant, lads!

    Would be a brilliant signing. Japanese players never stop running and Kyogo would get a friend

    Can't say I know anything about this guy, but if Ange wants him that's good enough for me.

    Would be incredible if we actually bought a player before January for January. Would be unheard of in recent years

    Would be an exciting addition...

    However, I don't like the fact its leaked before its done.. Usually means we get used to increase the player's exposure..

    Nah the Japanese don’t operate that way. There would be huge respect between YFM and Ange, that’s why we will have waited until the end of their season. If it’s not done, they would more than likely have a verbal agreement.

    Jleague finishes on 4th december so if he signs then or before it gives him 4 weeks off for rest and to get his stuff all in order (work permits , travel , where he staying , isolating)which would be ideal , and jleague finishing in december makes me think that any player signing from there will be done early
