Celtic confirm triple swoop for Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi as Ange Postecoglou lands targets

Celtic have announced the signings of Japanese trio Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi.

Ange Postecoglou has been pursuing the players in recent months and the club have confirmed they will move to Glasgow.

Maeda joins on a season-long loan from Postecoglou’s former club Yokohama Marinos with a purchase clause included.

Hatate and Ideguchi have both penned four-and-a-half year deals with the Hoops, arriving from Frontale Kawasaki and Gamba Osaka respectively.

“We are really pleased to bring in these guys to Celtic and I think they are players who will excite our fans,” Postecoglou said.

"Clearly I am well aware of their attributes and I think in bringing all three to the club we are bringing even more quality, personality and energy to the squad to work with the players who have done so well for us already this season.

"They are all really at the peak of their careers, ambitious to achieve more success and I am sure at this particular time we will be getting their best years. I am delighted to have secured these players so early in the transfer window.

"I look forward to working with them and myself, my backroom team and the rest of the squad will be making sure we help them settle into Celtic as quickly as possible.”

The three players are expected to join up with the squad in the coming days following the completion of international clearance.
