NEW Celtic signing Yosuke Ideguchi has revealed that he wants to be known as 'Guchi'.
The 25-year-old arrival from Gamba Osaka - who has already had one stint at European football with Leeds United - joins the Hoops on a four and a half year deal.
The midfielder says he is delighted to be joining the Hoops - having been excited watching Ange Postecoglou's style of play.
He said: “When I was in Japan, I watched his team and I was interested in the style, so I’m excited to be able to join his team.
“I’ve spoken to the manager and he said that he’s looking for me bring my style of play to the team.
"It certainly helps me in joining Celtic to have Daizen and Reo here as well, and I'm hoping to contribute to the team along with them.
The star, who has 15 caps already to his name, can't wait to be reunited with international team-mate Kyogo Furuhashi.
He said: “Kyogo is already contributing to the team.
