For anyone wondering just how good the players Celtic have been linked with from the Japanese J League are?
Look no further.
Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi have all been heavily linked with moves to Paradise this January and whilst YouTube is great to look at short clips of football players, they don’t give you the full run down of them.
A Celtic fan called The Go Radio Football Show to ask former Socceroo and now football agent, Craig Moore, just how much he knows about the trio and the response was just something else, “Mate they’re very good. They’re very good. I’d say look, there’s a couple of things.
“Very reasonable market in terms of it’s not big money. You’re talking about $2/3 million transfer fees.
“So the players are kind of similar budget. Technically amazing. And they’re really good in dressing rooms because they they live for football.
“Obviously culture is a change and a bit of a different for them.
“But if any other Japanese players come over, they’ve got Kyogo there.
“So they’ve got that opportunity to settle and to settle quickly, but technically? Beautiful players.”
If this is anything to go by, the Celtic fans should be extremely excited for January to hit and get these guys in the green and white hoops.
