Daizen Maeda

Daizen Maeda

Daizen Maeda attacks space on the left, driving runs beyond the line and pinning centre-backs. He rose as 2021 J.League Top Scorer and Best XI with Yokohama F. Marinos. Maeda debuts for Celtic with impact. January 2022 Celtic debut goal four minutes after signing on loan. A turning point was Celtic's 2022-23 Domestic Treble. Maeda scored Japan's opener in Croatia at the 2022 World Cup, marking a key international note. Maeda's best role is left wing, using pace to attack space and finish moves. He finishes moves and gets shots off quickly.
