It is believed Celtic will pay around £1.5million for the striker who will become the latest of a string of Japanese players to pull on the green-and-white hoops.
He follows in the footsteps of success stories Kyogo, Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate while others like Yuki Kobayashi and Tomoki Iwata have also come and gone.
Brendan Rodgers has been looking to add attacking options and young forward Callum Osmand has been signed from Fulham, though he may be more of a development option.
He is also tracking wide man Michel-Ange Balikwisha with Nicolas Kuhn having been sold to Como.

Lottie Woad five shots off pace after AIG Women's Open first round
Surrey sensation Woad carded a level-par 72 at a blustery Royal Porthcawl on a day the 21-year-old sensation was under huge scrutiny and Mimi Rhodes shot 69 to finish as the top English player. Woad entered the final major of the year as tournament favourite, despite this being only her second event as a professional. England's Lottie Woad is five shots off the lead after the opening day at Royal Porthcawl (Nigel French/PA) She had won her first at the Women's Scottish Open last weekend, a remarkable success coming on the back of victory at the Irish Open and a tied-third finish in The Evian Championship in her final weeks as an amateur. Woad, playing alongside the last two Open champions Lydia Ko and Lillia Vu, drew large galleries on the South Wales links and showed battling qualities despite not playing her best golf. Ko signed for a 73 and Vu 74 as Woad had 10 pars, four birdies and four bogeys in tough conditions. Woad drained a 20-foot putt to birdie the opening hole, but found a greenside bunker at the third and dropped a shot after failing to keep her chip on the green. Another shot went at the fifth, but Woad holed a long-range putt at the sixth to get back to par. A birdie for Lottie Woad… She's already making moves at Royal Porthcawl 👀 — AIG Women's Open (@AIGWomensOpen) July 31, 2025 Wayward tee shots at the 11th and 15th cost Woad further strokes, but a fine approach to the 14th produced a birdie and another to loud cheers came at the par-five 18th. 'I knew I had to get back to even,' Woad told Sky Sports. 'I'm off early (on Friday) and I'll just try a get a good score together. 'It's a great test, definitely challenges you. If you hit a bad shot you're going to be punished.' Rhodes played in the 2024 Curtis Cup before turning professional and has enjoyed a spectacular year on the Ladies European Tour with three victories. England's Mimi Rhodes put herself into contention at the AIG Women's Open with an opening round of 69 (Nigel French/PA) The 23-year-old from Bath added an eagle at the ninth to four birdies for a fine three-under par score of 69 to share fourth place. Rhodes said: 'I've had a few up and down weeks in the last few weeks, so I'm really happy to be striking it well and putting at my best again. 'I was coming in fresh and open-minded, it was so fun to have so many friends and family here supporting me.' Japanese players dominated the top of the leaderboard with Takeda and Okayama firing 67s and Miyu Yamashita recording five birdies and an eagle in a round of 68. Darcey Harry delivers! A birdie from the home favourite and the fans at Royal Porthcawl are loving every second. 🏴 — AIG Women's Open (@AIGWomensOpen) July 31, 2025 Three more Japanese players – Chisato Iwai, Mao Saigo and Shiho Kuwaki – were in a big bunch of players on 69. World number one Nelly Korda and home favourite Darcey Harry, from nearby Penarth and a Royal Porthcawl member, were in a group at two under-par. Georgia Hall, the 2018 Open champion, shot a one-under par 70 and fellow English player Charley Hull carded a topsy-turvy 73. Hull recovered from a double bogey six at the second, and being three-over through three, with five birdies in six holes. Four consecutive bogeys on the back nine dropped her down the field but a birdie at the 18th moved her within seven shots of the leaders.

Celtic target sparks wild scenes with remarkable 119th minute winner to send club through in Europe
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CELTIC'S transfer interest in him emerged in the evening. Hours later, he was scoring the most dramatic of winners for his current club. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 2 Celtic target Victor Eriksson scored an incredible European winner Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 2 Eriksson is a popular figure among the Hammarby support Credit: Alamy It's already been a busy summer of transfers at Celtic but they aren't done yet. Brendan Rodgers is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements with Manchester City kid Jahmai Simpson-Pusey set to be the next arrival at Parkhead. But the defensive signings might not end there. We told you earlier how the Hoops had been linked with a swoop for Swedish defender Victor Eriksson. SunSport columnist Alan Nixon has reported that Celtic's head of football operations Paul Tisdale has been to watch him in action for Hammarby. Towering centre-back Eriksson, 24, has excelled since returning to his homeland last year after a brief spell in the United States with Minnesota United. A product of hometown club Varnamo Sodra, he's also been capped once by Sweden. If he wasn't a name Celtic fans were familiar with before today, his remarkable European exploits on Thursday night might have made more take notice! Hammarby took on Belgian side Charleroi in a second round Conference League qualifier. The tie was deadlocked after a 0-0 first leg in Sweden. There wasn't much to separate the sides either in the second leg. Josef Erabi fired the Swedes into a first half lead before Charleroi hit back through Nikola Stulic inside the opening couple of minutes of the second 45. To extra time it went and it looked like there would be nothing to separate the sides. That was until Eriksson decided to have the final say in the 119th minute with penalties looming. A free-kick was floated into the box and with his back to goal, Eriksson watched the ball all the way, flicked it towards goal and found the net. There were absolutely WILD scenes of celebration as the Hammarby bench emptied as players, substitutes and coaches ran to join in some crazy celebrations by the corner flag. Unsurprisingly given the time, it proved to be the winning goal. Hammarby will now move on to face Norwegian outfit Rosenborg in the third qualifying round. Should Celtic wish to swoop for the 6ft 4in stopper, they might struggle to land him. That's if Hammarby boss Kim Hellberg has anything to do with it. Asked after the game if he'd sell Eriksson for £2million, he simply said "no." Asked how much the defender would cost, Hellberg emphatically responded: "He is not for sale."
