    Hard to find good stats of him.

    In the Asian CL he won possession in the final 3rd the 6th most in the tournament a decent amount in midfield also for a striker https://www.fotmob.com/leagues/525/...s/poss_won_att_3rd/afc-champions-league-elite

    Also committed the 4th most fouls in the tournament out of anyone but never got a card, probably those similar to Maeda type fouls of harrassing people till they fall :56: https://www.fotmob.com/leagues/525/stats/season/24070/players/fouls/afc-champions-league-elite

    Suppose the risk of Idah being pish and Yamada flopping is mitigated by Maeda being able to slot in there. Still would prefer a less punt of a 9, though.

    Love that we keep bringing in quality from Japan. Riddled with talent.

    He’s another that looks like he could play in a few positions, a lot of versatility in the squad plus if he’s anywhere near Maeda’s energy & pressing levels then he’ll be massive for us.

    He looks very aggressive and combative.
    I can't remember the last time we had one like that. I mean as a striker.

    I think the Kyogo/Maeda hybrid suggestions aren’t far off. I think he has the predatory instincts of a Kyogo but not quite as refined as Kyogo was.

    However, has a bit more about him in terms of being able to handle himself and make a pest of himself like Maeda can just again not quite at the mental Maeda level but not many are at that level.

    Similar to both his dribbling is limited and that’s shown in the longer World of Football video, he is more about off ball movement and getting into the right place at the right time. Interestingly his stats suggest he is still getting I good positions but he is under performing his xG. If we can get some of that last season finishing back then he could certainly be an asset at least domestically.

    The major difference to Kyogo and Maeda is he has come here off form where both of them came in off their career high form. Where Yamada’s form has dipped a fair bit.

    He's got some upper body strength and for a stocky guy he can really climb in the air for headers, and just bullets them in with those bull neck muscles.

    He really gets wired in.

    I’m just glad I don’t need to get up at 5am to watch him play now

    Long time.
    Idah's really going to have to be on his toes, because this guy won't settle for being No.2.

    Not a chance he’ll be happy number two
