Daizen Maeda says there is one key reason behind his blistering form, although he can't reveal it as of yet.
The forward has been in fine fettle for Celtic of late, scoring five goals in his last four games and 28 overall this season.
Currently away with Japan, Maeda is hoping to help his country qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
He will be looking to take his club form onto the international scene, although refused to lift the lid on why he has been playing so well recently: "I don’t really know myself," he said (Gekisaka via Record).

"When I was scoring at Marinos, I was always scoring, and I think that’s what I’m doing now at Celtic.
"There is one reason, but I can’t tell you what it is yet. I’ll probably be able to tell you in a month or two."
Having netted 28 goals across all competitions so far this campaign, Maeda is enjoying the finest scoring season of his career to date: "It’s the daily accumulation of what I’ve done up until now," he said.
"Now that I’m with the national team, I want to score goals and qualify for the World Cup."
Japan take on Bahrain and Saudi Arabia this month as they look to make sure of their place at next year's tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
Maeda has registered 22 caps for his country, scoring four goals along the way.
