Celtic-bound Hayato Inamura has been spotted at an airport leaving Japan, as he gets set to sign for the Scottish Premiership champions.
A photo widely circulated online shows the 23-year-old posing for a photo with an Albirex Niigata scarf.
The message 'La Familia' is emblazoned on the blue and red scarf, which is the J-League club's slogan.
It’s believed the centre-back is on his way to London. Here, he will undergo his medical before his switch to the Hoops is finalised.
