Ipswich Town have completed the signing of Japan international forward Daizen Maeda from Celtic on a three-year deal, as confirmed by BBC News.

The 28-year-old, who built a reputation for his relentless work rate during his time at Celtic Park, wasted no time setting out his stall for supporters at Portman Road. Maeda said his mentality "will always be to battle hard, score goals, and provide a spark" for the Tractor Boys.

The forward also promised total commitment on the pitch, pledging he "will always run and give everything that I have" in an Ipswich shirt.

Maeda's arrival adds attacking reinforcement as Ipswich look to bolster their squad, bringing a proven track record of energy and directness from his spell in Scotland. The move represents a significant step in his career as he switches from Scottish football to English football, with the club securing him on a long-term contract that ties him to the project for the next three years.
