Daizen Maeda reveals his Celtic 'ultimate goal' as striker admits he's learning fast under Ange Postecoglou

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Daizen Maeda is hoping a devastating link-up with Kyogo can fire Celtic to the Premiership title. Because that's his "ultimate goal" now he's reunited with Ange Postecoglou.

Maeda arrived on New Year's Day alongside Yosuke Ideguchi and Reo Hatate as Postecoglou's team starts to take on a real Japanese flavour.

But the striker knows Postecoglou better than either of them as he worked under him at Yokohama F.Marinos before the Australian upped sticks for Glasgow in the summer.He says that prior knowledge has helped him adjust to a different environment - though it is still taking him some time to get used to things.

But he's confident that once he hits the ground running, he can fire the Hoops to the top of the Premiership. He said at his media conference: “I’m settling in better, but I’ve worked with the manager before, so the training styles are similar.“The food is different here in Scotland than what I’m used to, so it will take some time to get accustomed to the nutrition, but I’m sure I will get used to it quickly.“I worked with the manager during my Yokohama days and I really admire his strong views and opinions and he’s the type of manager you want to follow and do your best for."Of course, the ultimate goal is to win the league and in order to do that, I need to score lots of goals myself so that’s my current focus at the moment.Get all the latest Celtic news sent straight to your Inbox every day by signing up to our newsletter.We cover every morsel of information regarding your favourite club in the form of articles, videos and podcasts.The newsletter will arrive every day at 12pm, giving you a round up of the best stories we've covered that in the last 24 hours.To sign up, simply enter your email address into
