Yosuke Ideguchi could leave Celtic in January with interest coming from the J-League.
Ange Postecoglou swooped for the midfielder 12 months ago as part of a triple deal that also included Reo Hatate and Daizen Maeda. The latter duo have both hit the ground running in Glasgow and have established themselves as key members of the Hoops top team, but the same can't be said for the midfield man who has endured an injury-plagued year at the club.
The Scottish Sun reports several clubs in Japan are keeping tabs on his situation and could make a move to end his time in Scotland when the January transfer window opens. He finds himself well down the pecking order at the Scottish champions with the likes of skipper Callum McGregor, Hatate, Matt O'Riley, Aaron Mooy, David Turnbull and Oliver Abildgaard all ahead of him.
