Hatate, who joined Celtic in January 2022 from J1 League side Kawasaki Frontale, has quickly become a key figure in the Scottish Premiership outfit’s lineup. His performances in the green and white hoops have not gone unnoticed, with the dynamic midfielder attracting attention from various corners of the footballing world.
However, despite the interest he’s reportedly been attracting, the focus, for now, remains firmly on his time in Europe with Celtic. The Japanese international’s immediate future appears to be in Glasgow, where he’ll look to impress new boss Brendan Rodgers.
