Celtic have announced the signing of Yuki Kobayashi on a five-year deal from Vissel Kobe.
The 22-year-old has agreed a long-term deal with the Premiership champions after a host of head turning displays in the J-League. The Japan youth international has committed his future to Ange Postecoglou's side. And he admits the pull of working with the former Yokohama Marinos boss was too much to turn down. Speaking to the official Celtic website, Kobayashi said: "I am so excited to be joining Celtic and I am really looking forward to this wonderful opportunity. I will be giving everything to try and be successful with the club.
"Right across the world, everyone knows what a special club Celtic is and it will be a real honour to wear this fantastic jersey. The work of Ange Postecoglou is also really well-known in Japan after he had such a great time in the J League, and as well as being part of Celtic I can’t wait to work with him as a coach and the great team of players he has already developed.
