Social media is awash with transfer rumours and a lot of false information around this time of year. On Sunday, a rumour was going around linking Celtic with Tsukasa Morishima — Sanfrecce Hiroshima midfielder.
After Celtic went foraging in the J-League last season with great success — there’s always going to be links with the club and Japanese based players while Ange is in charge.
If you’re a regular reader of the site you’ll know we make the very clear distinction between a rumour and something with a bit more traction.
We’re officially debunking this rumour thanks to some of our pals who cover the J-League. Both @FRSoccerSam and Dan Orlowitz revealed there is NOTHING in the rumours and Dan has had this come up before.
The journalist wrote back in May the link came from a speculative piece wrote by the Daily Record, naming players Celtic might want to sign.
With Jota signed to a permanent deal, we expect Celtic’s transfer business to cool down for now while they head out to Austria.
Beware of filler transfer stories like the J-League social media stuff.
