Daizen Maeda contract latest as Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers meets transfer necessities head on
Brendan Rodgers welcomed the arrival of speed demon Shin Yamada - then promised Celtic fans the Hoops are working flat out to add more firepower in quick time. Japanese striker Yamada - dubbed quicker than Daizen Maeda - was paraded ahead of the demolition of Newcastle in the Adidas Cup showdown after clinching his £1.3m move from Kawasaki Frontale. But Celtic, who lost Kyogo Furuhashi in January and Nicolas Kuhn in a £17m exit to Como last week, are eager to add more goals with Royal Antwerp ace Michel-Ange Balikwisha a long term target. READ MORE: Kieran Tierney reacts to 'emotional' Celtic ovation as Hayato Inamura earns incredible reaction READ MORE: Johnny Kenny has Celtic message for transfer recruits amid Idah and Maeda striker fight There's just tow weeks until the champions raise the curtain on a new season against St Mirren. And Rodgers said: 'Any coach would love to have them in at the beginning, on the first day of pre-season, but we all know how the market works. 'There's a little period, and then there's another period to sign, and then it ramps up at the end. 'Every coach will tell you that they want them in the first day of the season, but as long as they're here by the end of August. 'Obviously in some areas we would like them sooner. 'By the end of August we'll be able to see the squad that we have, and take it from there. 'I think it's bringing goals to the squad. When you've just scored four goals, that always seems to be okay, but we lost an important player in January in Kyogo, who scored a lot of goals, and we've lost Nicolas Kuhn, a lot of goals again, and even Matt O'Riley last summer. 'Even though we scored a lot of goals last season, we still want more, and our ambition is to have more, so I think all across the front areas, we have to be active in order to give us that depth. 'We've still got a lot of work to do but the guys that are training and working with us are doing so well. You saw that today, and they're all developing their fitness and participating in the games for us. 'I would expect us by the end of the window to have brought in players in certain areas of the pitch that we need to go through a really long season. But it's an exciting season for us.' Arne Engels' penalty opened the floodgates against Eddie Howe's Toon before Johnny Kenny, Hjunjuun Yang and Liam Scales put the gloss on an emphatic victory. But it was last year's player of the year Daizen Maeda who starred, playing a big part in the first and third goals, an electric performance on the left of a front three. The Japan ace has attracted interest from Brentford this summer and has yet to sign the new deal Celtic have tabled. Rodgers added: 'I don't think there have been any developments on that, but he's a professional and his focus is very much on here.' Meanwhile Rodgers reckons new boy Yamada can leave even Duracell bunny Maeda in his wake going by his stats. He said: 'His profile suits how he plays. He's one of the quickest players from the Japanese league - he's even quicker than Daizen and Kyogo in terms of statistics, and that's how we play, that speed in the top line. 'He gives that depth as well, so I'm really looking forward to seeing him come in and seeing what he can bring. 'All the Japanese players that we work with, they have intensity, they have fitness, and they have this momentum, this mentality to keep going, so we think he'll bring that, and hopefully we can develop him like we have the other players.'

Daizen Maeda contract latest as Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers meets transfer necessities head on

Last Chance Prime Day Deal: Duracell's Portable Power Station Saved Me in a Blackout, and It's Half Off Right Now
Amazon Prime Day sale: The 150-watt Duracell M150 Power Station is marked down to $79 -- half off the usual retail price of $159 -- thanks to this Prime Day deal and a coupon that will get you an additional 20% off. The slightly less powerful M100 version and the step-up M250 model are also on sale, and you can use the coupon for those as well. But you'll want to hurry; Prime Day ends today. Living in a prewar apartment building comes with perks and quirks. On the "perk" side, you get sturdy construction, pretty good noise separation between units and charming touches like crown molding and wood flooring. On the "quirk" side, things are more likely to break down, including the electrical grid. One week, I had not one but two power outages in my building the same night, with power not being restored until early the following morning. Sitting in the dark without entertainment is never fun, but I just happened to have the Duracell M150 Power Station on my desk and it helped save the night. Looking like a giant two-tone Duracell AA battery with a copper accent on the top, it's a charging hub with multiple high-output USB-C and USB-A ports, a built-in light ring and a dock that keeps it topped up all the time. It usually runs $159, but Amazon Prime Day has it available for $79 right now. There's also an adjustable MagSafe-compatible wireless charging pad up top, along with a storage compartment to stow away cables. Its larger sibling, the M250, is even featured on CNET's list of favorite portable power stations for its unique design, though if you want something with more capacity, you should consider our best portable power stations list. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. The Duracell's charging dock and light is the killer feature The thing about most portable power stations is that you need to top them up periodically or leave them plugged in all the time so they're always ready for emergencies, at the cost of battery lifespan. That's the case with the Jackery Explorer 300 power station, which I also own and used as my mainstay power backup option. It's a good device with pretty of runtime, but it requires me to be frequently plugging and unplugging it, which can be a hassle. The Duracell M150 makes this process easier with the included charging dock, which keeps the M150 topped up whenever I need it. When my power went out, all I had to do was pull the dock off the charging stand and move it to where I needed it. That's also where the built-in light came in handy. Unlike the Jackery Explorer 300, an unexpected outage didn't leave me reaching for my phone's flashlight. With a press of a button, I got immediate light and I was able to find my way around my dark and cluttered apartment. Give Duracell some credit for its likable -- and familiar -- power station designs. Ry Crist/CNET The light isn't as bright as an emergency lantern or camping light, but it's more than enough to do in a pinch, giving me the time to check my breaker box to confirm that it wasn't the cause of the outage and to find some back up entertainment options like my Steam Deck and Kobo Libra Color, while also serving as a tabletop light if I needed to head to the bathroom. The Duracell also stands out for its size and weight. At just 1.8 pounds for the battery section and 0.6 pounds for the included charging dock, you can tote the whole thing around without too much trouble. However, it doesn't have a carrying handle like the Jackery Explorer 300, which would have been a nice touch for added portability. Does a portable power station make a good gift? The Duracell M150 provides power whenever you need it, making it a great gift for those in areas more prone to outages. This can include places like Florida and the Gulf Coast or even people like me who live in older buildings with more decrepit infrastructure. With its mix of USB-A and high-output USB-C ports and a wireless charging stand, it can charge devices ranging from laptops and phones to earbuds and smartwatches. There are also two additional models, the smaller and more compact M100 and the larger, more capacious M250 so you can pick whichever one suits your needs best. All three come with the charging dock and built-in light. Be sure to check out CNET's roundup of the best Amazon Prime Day deals for more power stations, home appliances and other products.
