A little known Twitter account has claimed that Celtic are interested in Tsukasa Morishima of Sanfrecce Hiroshima.
Ange Postecoglou has already brought in four players from the J-League which seems to provide great value alongside grounded, dedicated professionals.
How accurate the SM Media site is will be open to question but at this time of the season clubs and managers will be exploring a variety of options.
Reports in Japan have linked Celtic with a possible move for Japanese attacking midfielder Tsukasa Morishima.

A search on Google and Twitter failed to find any of the alleged reports from Japan.
Transfermarkt describes Morishima as an attacking midfielder- a position that Celtic seems fairly well covered for with David Turnbull and Matt O’Riley naturals in the role.
With his contract expiring in January Morishima’s career is at a critical phase. A defensive midfielder seems to be the transfer priority for Celtic.
