Celtic has now submitted an opening bid for the forwards that were regularly among their targets for the 2024-25 season, the report revealed.
A keen hoop for a new forward amid Maeda’s uncertainty
With Kyoto uruhashi out of January since then, Daizen Maeda provided 16 goals and seven assists in the Scottish Premiership last season, scoring seven goals in the Scottish Cup final.
So it’s no wonder that Japanese forwards are attracting attention from other places. Everton recently joined fellow Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the race for his signature.
Brendan Rogers recently dropped an update on the situation. He confirmed that the 27-year-old remains an expert despite the uncertainty surrounding his future.

As exciting as Balikwisha: Celtic candidate to sign “outstanding” star
Celtic is one of the candidates to secure a star contract as exciting as Michelle Genji Balikwisha.
After being impressed by Maeda’s performance in Newcastle United’s 4-0 thrashing, Rogers said: “I don’t think there was any development on that, but he’s an expert and his focus is very focused here.
“Yeah, every player, every player had a really good focus. I’ve always said that when you play for Celtic there’s no friendly game. There’s always a test for you, but the players have come out really, really well.
But with the forward’s future so airing, Celtic is now aiming for a new winger, namely Jacob Bruum of the Eagles, with reports from the public submitting a £1.5 million opening offer for his services.
However, the bid was as follows, with the Eagles asking price being £5 million. So, club director Jan Willem Wandop said: “We received a bid for Jacob Bruum from a foreign club.
“We’re away from it. You need to stand on your own ground. He might have to realize that it’s a great thing to be with us, like Oliver Edbalden, at least until the winter break.”
Bruum regularly among the goals of Eredivisi
The 21-year-old enjoyed his best campaign to date with last season, accumulating a total of 17 goal contributions for the Go Afven Eagles across all competitions.
competition | exterior | the goal | assist |
eredivisie | 26 | 10 | 5 |
KNVB Cup | 3 | 1 | 0 |
UECL Qualifications | 2 | 0 | 1 |
Thus, given that the 2024-25 season is his first real eye-catching season, the versatile forward who can play both wings and midfield could be an exciting signature for Celtic.
As a result, it may be wise to move on to alternative targets that are not shortages, but it has recently been revealed that Hoops are bolstering Michel Enji’s Balikwisha pursuit, who has contributed 46 goals in 141 games for Royal Antwerp.
