DAIZEN MAEDA has introduced to Celtic fans with a social media message.

The Japanese forward was part of the J-League triple swoop with Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi also moving to Parkhead under Ange Postecoglou.

Maeda joins Celtic on an initial loan spell with a compulsory purchase clause meaning he'll sign a permanent long-term deal in the summer.

The 24-year-old already revealed his excitement to work under Ange Postecoglou again, after playing for him at Yokohama F Marinos.

And he's now shared his delight at becoming a Celtic player as he targeted "sharing the joy of winning" with fans.

He posted on Twitter: "Hello everyone. It’s an honour to be here. I’m Daizen Maeda from Japan.

"I’m grateful and delighted to be a part of Celtic.

"I’m looking forward to contributing to the team and sharing the joy of winning at Celtic Park with all of you.

"I can’t wait to get started. Thank you!"
