Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Japan international Daizen Maeda from Celtic, adding another attacking option ahead of the new campaign. The 28-year-old forward has agreed a three-year deal at Portman Road.

The move makes Maeda Ipswich’s fifth signing of the summer as the newly promoted side continues to reshape its squad. Bringing in a player with top-level experience in both club football and on the international stage looks like a clear statement of intent.

Maeda arrives from Celtic, where he built a strong profile as an energetic and versatile attacker. His ability to play across the front line should give Ipswich added flexibility as they prepare for the demands of life after promotion.

For Ipswich Town, the signing of Daizen Maeda underlines a busy transfer window and a focus on adding proven quality. With a three-year contract now in place, attention will turn to how quickly the Japan international can settle into his new team.
