Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou convinced he’s signing Japanese stars Maeda, Ideguchi and Hatate at peak of their careers
CELTIC manager Ange Postecoglou insists he has signed Daizen Maeda, Yosuke Ideguchi and Reo Hatate at the PEAK of their careers.
The Hoops announced the triple signing earlier today, with Postecoglou once again raiding the Japanese top flight after the success of summer signing Kyogo Furuhashi at the club.
The pacey forward has been an instant hit at Parkhead so far since arriving from Vissel Kobe in July.
He has already notched an incredible 16 goals and 5 assists so far this season across all competitions.
He also lead the Bhoys to their first piece of silverware this season, with a double in their Premier Sports cup win over Hibs at Hampden earlier in the month.
Now the Aussie coach is hoping his new trio of signings will have the same impact in Scotland as he applauded the quality they bring to his side.
Ange Postecoglou said: “We are really pleased to bring in these guys to Celtic and I think they are players who will excite our fans.
"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.
