Shunsuke Nakamura

Celtic are all over the map looking for players. So far this season they have purchased 4 players and could likely add more.

Apart from pissing off Harry Redknapp there are some interesting possibilities being considered by the team but the most interesting by far to me is Shunsuke Nakamura.

The Japanese international plays in Italy for Reggina. The playmaker was really impressive in the Confederations Cup last month in Germany.

The asking feel is about 3 million euros. That’s a steal. Nakamura has made the deal more complex though, with image rights and his handlers have insisted the club play exhibitions in Tokyo.

Spanish clubs such as Atletico Madrid have expressed interest in the player but Celtic look set. Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is very high on the player. With good reason, he’s good enough to force Hidetoshi Nakata from the playmakers role on the Japanese national team.
