Despite his vast array of goals this season, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers says Daizen Maeda's movement is one of his key attributes.
The Japan international's form has taken a considerable upturn following the unexpected mid-season departure of his fellow countryman, Kyogo Furuhashi, from Celtic.
Maeda has regularly been deployed as a centre-forward since Furuhashi's exit and has thrived in doing so.
The 27-year-old has scored 12 goals in his last 12 appearances, although Rodgers reckons there is one key aspect of his game that goes unnoticed.

He said [Celtic TV]: "If you look at his [Maeda's] goal return since February when he has sort of moved into there [centre-forward], I think he has 15 goals in 11 games.
"I think the only game he has not scored in a full 90 minutes was away in Bayern. But virtually every other game I am pretty sure he has scored in.
"It is not just that, it is what he gives in the pressing. The pressing really sparks off and this is what I like to think my teams are built on, that high intensity pressure from the front. He is absolutely perfect for that.
"But the thing that doesn't get mentioned so much. Everyone talks about his pressing and goals. His movement is frightening. His movement in the game is as good as you will see.
"It doesn't surprise me because of all the attributes and anticipation he has in his game. He is just an absolutely phenomenal player and he will get some more goals by the end of the season I am pretty sure."
Currently on 30 goals for the campaign, Maeda could join an exclusive club of only eight players who have hit 40 in a season for Celtic should he reach said landmark before the end of May.
With eight games to go, plus a potential Scottish Cup final, there remains a substantial way to go for the forward to continually make his mark.
