Daizen Maeda has continued to impress at Celtic, and under Brendan Rodgers, he has become a key player. Former Celtic star John Hartson has praised Maeda, calling him a “manager’s dream” due to his tireless work rate, pace, and overall improvement in recent seasons. Despite joining the club during Ange Postecoglou’s tenure in 2021, Maeda has flourished under Rodgers, showing enhanced technical ability and a better final ball, contributing both goals and assists.
Maeda’s stats underline his importance to Celtic, having made 113 appearances, scored 33 goals, and provided 18 assists while helping the team to three league titles, two Scottish Cups, and two League Cups. His blistering speed, clocked at 34.2 km/h, ranks him among the fastest players in the UEFA Champions League this season. At just 26 and contracted until 2027, Maeda is set to remain a central figure for Celtic in the coming years, much to the delight of Rodgers and the fans.
