Yuki Kobayashi is a Celtic player, after penning a five-year deal with the Scottish champions this month, but had the tough task of saying farewell to his boyhood club first.
The Japanese defender will link up with Ange Postecoglou's men following the World Cup break, with Kobayashi available to play for the league leaders come the new year. And Celtic look to be getting their transfer business done swifty, with the defender set to join Canadian star Alistair Johnston as a new Parkhead recruit.
Kobayashi leaves behind his boyhood club in Vissel Kobe - the team Celtic signed now fan favourite Kyogo Furuhashi from last summer - but did not go without a hero's send-off. The J-League side produced a long-form documentary on the 22-year-old, showing his rise from academy star to national team appearances and the youngster is visibly emotion throughout.
