Daizen Maeda 'interests' Brentford after Celtic star made transfer feelings very clear amid £21m non negotiable
The forward is in demand this summer after an impressive campaign last term for the Scottish champions Brentford are reportedly showing interest in Daizen Maeda - despite the Celtic star making his feelings clear over an exit. The 27-year-old was the standout performer for the Scottish Premiership champions last season netting 33 goals last season as Brendan Rodgers' claimed a domestic double. That has seen the likes of Tottenham, Fenerbahce and West Ham touted with a move for the forward - and now The Bees' appear to have joined the race. Sportiva reported that the addition of Maeda is part of the "big changes heading into the new season" with Keith Andrews replacing Thomas Frank as manager - after Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham. It is claimed that the Premier League club could take "immediate action" and submit and offer - but the valuation of the Japanese international will be "carefully considered" before an offer is made. Reports in Turkey stating Jose Mourinho's men were told stump up £21million for the star by Celtic - and that valuation is unlikely to have moved since. But Maeda has already hinted this summer that he is in no rush to leave - as he sets his sights on the Champions League after reaching the play-off phase of the competition. He said: "I really enjoyed playing in the Champions League this season because there were so many games and it gave us a lot of different challenges. "I think the new format has been great and I am excited to try it again this upcoming season. It helped me improve. "We played some great teams. Personally, I actually thought the best side we played was Atalanta because they didn't appear to have any weaknesses." And last week Maeda explained during an interview in his homeland that his family was settled in Glasgow. He said: "My son was doing knee sliding exercises at home. I was inspired by that and thought I could do it too. "I thought I'd give it a go and it was surprisingly easy, so I started doing it after that. It's easy to do in Scotland because the grass is always wet."

How much is Maeda worth?
Celtic's Daizen Maeda is now the most valuable player in Scotland, according to forward Maeda's market value is 15m euro (£12.82m) after a 4m euro (£3.42m) boost in his worth in the football website's end-of-season netted 33 goals last term - three times higher than his previous season's best at Celtic - and contributed 12 assists in 51 appearances across all superb form helped Celtic complete a title and League Cup double and earned Maeda the Premiership and PFA Scotland player of the year 27-year-old now overtakes clubmate Cameron Carter-Vickers (14m euro, £12m) as the top-priced player in Scottish football, with Celtic players occupying the first five places and seven of the top has two years remaining on his contract, but Celtic are attempting to secure him on extended terms amid reported interest from the likes of Fenerbahce this while his market value may now be just shy of £13m, Celtic would surely want considerably more than that if Maeda was to be prised away from the champions.
