Ange Postecoglou admits his capture of Tomoki Iwata has been a year in the waiting as he revealed he's had 'no contact' from clubs over his Celtic stars.
The Hoops boss snapped up his third signing ahead of the January transfer window in the shape of the midfielder from former club Yokohama F. Marinos. He's arrived on loan with the deal made permanent in the summer - a similar approach with Daizen Maeda last year. Partly the signature of the latter played a role in not moving for Iwata last year as the 57-year-old admitted he didn't want to go there again 'out of respect' for his old club.
But he's got his man now as he joins Alistair Johnston and Yuki Kobayashi in putting pen to paper ahead of the second half of the season. Outgoings wise, there has been major talk over the future of Josip Juranovic with top clubs like Chelsea and Barcelona mentioned while there has been reported interest in the likes of Giorgos Giakoumakis and Stephen Welsh.
