Celtic are closing in on the signing of Japanese centre-back Hayato Inamura from Albirex Niigata, with reports suggesting the deal could be finalized next week. The 23-year-old is expected to play his final game in Japan today before heading to Europe for a medical. Known for his left-footed strength and set-piece ability, Inamura would become the ninth Japanese player to wear the Celtic jersey, joining a growing legacy of successful signings from the J.League.
