Nakamura stays at Celtic

Celtic midfielder Shunske Nakamura will not be leaving the club this January transfer window. It was understood that the player may be ready to make a move back to his homeland.

However, it now seems that he will be staying at Celtic until the summer when his contract expires.

Yokohama Marinos were reportedly set to make a move for the Japanese international, but a move fell out after fears about the credit crunch.

A Celtic statement later read: ''Celtic didn't want Naka to leave and Naka didn't want to leave. Therefore, there was never any prospect of Shunsuke leaving in January.''
