Like a bolt from the blue, a Celtic transfer story comes and hits us square between the eyes when we least expect it.
With the domestic game preparing for its shutdown for the upcoming World Cup in November, a lot of clubs will turn their attention to their transfer business.
And as I reported earlier that Stephen McGowan said that Celtic had opened talks with Vissel Kobe’s Kobayashi, this report takes it further with this claim.
According to Sponichi via the Daily Record, Vissel Kobe and Celtic have agreed a fee for the 22-year-old in a deal that will see Ange Postecoglou make his first, of what many Celtic fans will be hoping will be a few moves in the January window.
Many clubs will use the World Cup as a perfect hunting ground for securing players but not Ange.
Ange is looking like he is already on the ball at identifying targets and just as he did in the last winter window, the Celtic gaffer is months ahead of our rivals when it comes to planning for the season ahead.
They will forever be in our shadow as long as Ange is at the helm.
