In a surprising turn of events, Daizen Maeda is set to make a move from Celtic to Rangers in January.
Daizen Maeda has had a remarkable tenure at Celtic FC since joining the club in January 2022. Here are some of his recent achievements:
2022/23 Season: Maeda played a crucial role in Celtic’s historic eighth treble, helping the team clinch the SPFL title, League Cup, and Scottish Cup.
2023/24 Season: He has continued to impress, scoring 2 goals in the UEFA Champions League and 2 goals in the Premiership.
Glasgow Derby: Maeda scored the first goal just 30 seconds into the April 2024 Glasgow Derby, showcasing his impact in big matches.
International Success: Represented Japan in the 2022 World Cup, scoring the opening goal in their round of 16 match against Croatia. He also participated in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, helping Japan reach the quarter-finals.
Maeda’s speed, work rate, and goal-scoring ability have made him a fan favorite at Celtic Park. His contributions have been vital to the team’s success over the past couple of seasons.
The Japanese winger, who has been a key player for Celtic since joining on loan in January 2022 and making the move permanent later that year, has caught the attention of Rangers with his impressive performances.
Maeda, known for his lightning pace and relentless work rate, has been a fan favorite at Celtic Park. His ability to stretch defenses and create scoring opportunities has made him a valuable asset for the team.
Rangers’ interest in Maeda comes as they look to strengthen their squad and challenge for the Scottish Premiership title.
The potential transfer has sparked excitement among Rangers fans, who are eager to see Maeda in their colors. However, it remains to be seen if Celtic will be willing to let go of one of their star players.
