Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Celtic striker Daizen Maeda in a deal worth £10 million, adding another attacking option before the start of the new Premier League campaign.
Maeda arrives after four and a half years with Celtic, ending a lengthy spell in Glasgow as Ipswich continue to reshape their squad for the step up. The move underlines the club’s intent to strengthen key areas ahead of the season.
For Ipswich, bringing in a forward with experience from a high-profile club is a notable piece of business as they prepare for the demands of Premier League football. The focus is clearly on building enough depth and quality to compete at a higher level.
For Celtic, the transfer marks the departure of an established attacker, while Ipswich will hope Maeda can make an immediate impact in England. The deal is one of the club’s significant summer moves as preparations continue for the campaign ahead.
