Scottish Premier League heavyweight Celtic announced the signing of J. League players Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi on Friday in a blockbuster January transfer window move.
The Japanese trio will join Samurai Blue attacker Kyogo Furuhashi at the Glasgow club, which is managed by former Yokohama F. Marinos and Australian national team boss Ange Postecoglou.
Kawasaki Frontale utility Hatate and Gamba Osaka midfielder Ideguchi will make full transfers on 4½-year contracts, while Marinos striker Maeda is on loan through June 2022, after which he is expected to ink a permanent deal.
