Daizen Maeda (前田 大然, Maeda Daizen, born 20 October 1997) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Scottish Premiership side Celtic and the Japan national team.[2]

Club career

Matsumoto Yamaga

In 2016, Maeda joined Matsumoto Yamaga FC. He got his J-League debut on February 28, 2016.[3] It was on August 28, 2016, that he scored his first goal as a professional in an Emperor's Cup game against Tokuyama University.[4]

Mito HollyHock (loan)

On 6 January 2017, Matsumoto Yamaga FC announced that Maeda will be joining Mito HollyHock on a loan deal that will run from February 2017 till January 2018.[5] He ended the season while scoring 13 goals.[6]

Matsumoto Yamaga return

After his loan spell at Mito, he struggled for regular playing time and was loaned to the Portuguese club, Maritimo in 2019.[7]

Maritimo (loan)

On August 11 2019, he made his debut in the opening round of Portuguese League against Sporting CP when he came on as a substitute in the 57th minute.[8][9]

On 25 August 2019, Maeda scored his debut goal in a 3–2 loss to CD Tondela.[10][11]

Yokohama F. Marinos (loan)

On August 3, 2020, a loan transfer to Yokohama F. Marinos was announced.[12] He scored his first goal after the transfer in the match against Shimizu S-Pulse on August 19, and contributed to the team's first victory in three games.[13][14]

Yokohama F. Marinos

By the end of the season, it was announced that the deal would be made permanent.[15] On March 7, 2021, he scored a brace against Sanfrecce Hiroshima[16][17] and continued his prolific run of form on March 17, scoring four goals in one game against Tokushima Vortis.[18][19] On September 25, 2021, with a goal against Yokohama FC, Maeda became the top scorer in the J1 League.[20][21] On November 6 against FC Tokyo, he scored his second hat-trick of the season to keep his spot in the top scorers' ranking.[22] In addition to being named in the J.League Best XI at the end of the season, Maeda was also co-J.League Top Scorer with Leandro Damiao of Kawasaki Frontale, who had equalled his total of 23 goals for the campaign.[23]

Celtic

On December 31, 2021, Maeda was announced to have signed for Scottish Premiership club Celtic on loan for the rest of the season, with an obligation to buy at the end of the loan.[24] On January 17th, 2022, Maeda made his debut and scored his first goal in the 4th minute, in a league fixture against Hibernian at Celtic Park. Maeda signed a four-year contract with Celtic at the end of the season, when his move was made permanent.[25]

International career

On May 24, 2019, Maeda has been called by Japan's head coach Hajime Moriyasu to feature in the Copa América played in Brazil.[26] He's also the first Matsumoto Yamaga player to ever feature for the senior's side. He made his debut on 17 June 2019 in the game against Chile, as a starter.[27]

Style of play

Though primarily and initially used by both Matsumoto Yamaga and Yokohama F. Marinos as a left winger, Maeda is able to operate in a number of positions as a forward, including on the opposite flank, as an attacking midfielder or occasionally a second striker. Regarding his stamina and conditioning, former coach John Hutchinson referred to Maeda as a "machine", while Arthur Papas, who also coached Maeda during his time at Yokohama, has said Maeda "possesses athletic qualities far superior to most players at the professional level", hailing his pace and sprinting.[28]
