Celtic are ramping up their January plans with more reports coming out of Japan the Hoops are closing in on the signing of Reo Hatate.
The midfielder who can also play left back looks like he could be in the door shortly. No player can be registered until after the new year, but this is a very positive sign.
The J-League has just finished, Reo has met with club officials to thrash out his future and has told them he wants the deal to be done.
The report in Japan has claimed there’s an agreement in place between the club and Kawasaki Frontale and the deal is all but done.
There has been confusion surrounding Hatate’s position. It looks like the 24-year-old will be heading to Celtic to play in the midfield – not competing with Greg Taylor and others.
Brining in players on Ange’s personal recommendations fills us with confidence the manager is getting what he wants to succeed.
