Key Celtic target spotted at airport as he waves goodbye to friends and family before sealing transfer
He's believed to be en route to the UK JETTING IN Key Celtic target spotted at airport as he waves goodbye to friends and family before sealing transfer CELTIC kick off their pre-season fixtures this weekend - and Brendan Rodgers already has four signings in the door. The Celtic boss looks set to make that at least FIVE in the next couple of days, too, as one of his targets has tonight been spotted on his way to the UK to complete a dream move to Parkhead. Advertisement 2 Brendan Rodgers has been a busy man in the transfer market Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 One of his targets has been spotted boarding a plane to head to the UK Kieran Tierney was the Hoops' first signing of the summer and he has since been joined by Ross Doohan, Benjamin Nygren and Callum Osmand. Next up seems to be Hayato Inamura as the Scottish champions have returned to the J1 League to land their latest recruit. Inamura, 23, is closing in on a move to Celtic to team up with fellow countrymen Daizen Maeda and Reo Hatate. The Hoops previously had as many as FIVE Japanese players in the squad before but their quota dropped to two following the departures of Yuki Kobayashi, Tomoki Iwata and Kyogo Furuhashi. Advertisement But Inamura could take them back up to three, while Kawasaki Frontale forward Shin Yamada make it a quartet at Lennoxtown once again. Yamada remains a target for Rodgers but Inamura is seemingly already a done deal, according to reports in Japan. The left-sided centre-back has already confirmed he will leave his current club Albirex Niigata this summer. Now the defender has been spotted at the airport donning a club scarf before catching a flight to Europe, believed to be en route to Scotland.

He looks set to complete the transfer before Celtic's first friendly against Queen's Park on Sunday.

Lawrence Shankland looks to be nearing a new deal with Hearts
Derek McInnes has held regular conversations with Shankland since taking charge in mid-May aimed at convincing him to accept an offer to become Hearts' highest-paid player. Lawrence Shankland (centre) has scored 68 goals for Hearts (Jane Barlow/PA) The manager appeared to be giving up hope, though, when he spoke from the club's warm-weather training base in Spain on Tuesday. 'The fact he's not with us would suggest that it's been challenging to get the outcome that we want,' McInnes said of the fact the striker had not been signed in time to fly out with the rest of the squad last Saturday. However, the situation has changed significantly since then, with the Jambos seemingly having won the battle to keep hold of the striker and bring to an end one of the most prominent narratives of the past two years in Scottish football. Hearts boss Derek McInnes has been working hard to keep Shankland (Jane Barlow/PA) It was reported on Wednesday that Shankland was 'rejecting big money from abroad to stay at Hearts'. Although the club were remaining coy on such suggestions, it is understood that talks have progressed and that a deal is now significantly closer to being finalised than it was on Tuesday. Shankland marked his first campaign at the club by becoming the first Hearts player in 31 years to score more than 20 goals in a season and then netted 31 goals in 2023-24 to earn himself every Scottish Premiership Player of the Year award available and secure a place in the Scotland squad for Euro 2024. Lawrence Shankland played for Scotland at last summer's Euros (Andrew Milligan/PA) The former Ayr and Dundee United forward's most recent campaign was more of a struggle in front of goal and he incurred the wrath of some fans after a costly Conference League penalty miss away to Cercle Brugge in November, although he did notch five times in his final five appearances to leave supporters clinging to the hope that he might decide to remain at Tynecastle. Barring any last-minute hitches, it now looks like Shankland will pledge his future to the club and join up with McInnes and his new team-mates in the coming days as they step up preparations for their Premier Sports Cup opener at home to Dunfermline in just over a fortnight. The retention of their most prolific forward of the 21st century would represent a significant coup at a time when Hearts are embarking on an exciting new era in partnership with Jamestown Analytics and with Brighton owner Tony Bloom on board as a minority investor.

Lawrence Shankland looks to be nearing a new deal with Hearts
