Celtic reportedly is paying attention to the impressive defender moves in the summer transfer window as Brendan Rodgers is trying to perfect his team for a Champions League glory chance.
Celtic’s eye signature after Rogers’ entry
In April, Rodgers revealed that he needed a busy summer at Parkhead, despite his side being coasted towards the Scottish premiership title again.
“We’re always looking to improve our teams and improve our team’s hunger. One way to make and protect what I’m talking about is to have freshness. It’s either that or the manager goes. It’s just as simple.
Celtic continues to link with potential signatures to strengthen the potential for further success in Europe, and Nordzialand attacker Benjamin Niglen was believed to be on the verge of completion.
Meanwhile, his reunion with former striker Odsonne Edouard was also controversial as he was loaned out to Leicester City by Crystal Palace last season. The 27-year-old scored 87 goals in 179 appearances during his first stint at Celtic, and given his age he could be a great signing this summer.
Celtic eye-opening surprise moves for defenders
According to HeraldCeltic trustworthy journalist Stephen McGowan is “working on a surprising move” for Japanese defender Inamra. The 23-year-old is currently playing for the J.League side Albirex niigata as a left-hand centre-back, but he can also play on the left side of the back four. This is a bonus in terms of team depth.
Inamura isn’t a common name like Eduard, but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t become a sensible acquisition by Celtic ahead of next season.
At 23, Hoop could be earning his best year, as Japan’s talent is still a young player who has improved.
Inamura has made 33 appearances for Albirex niigata and has been given Celtic’s preference to sign Japanese players throughout recent history, so he should be trusted to see him as a wise signature.

Celtics are reportedly scheduled to complete their first signing of the summer, so why could their “fearless” new winger be a repeat of liel abada?
His versatility is clearly positive, allowing him to thrive in two different positions – the fact that he is left foot adds a balance to the team – and while he may not be a regular starter from off, he may be a solid team option that will allow him to grow into a key player over time.
