🇯🇵Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kazuyuki Toda says he has never seen such a ‘talented, young Japanese central defender’ as new Spurs signing Kota Takai:

🗣️"He can carry the ball well, dribble well and pass the ball well. He has a big range. He plays as right centre-back but can also play left centre-back. He’s also good in the air. He’s also intelligent, he can read the game well, now he needs the experience of playing at a higher level.”

🗣️"He has huge potential, such a promising talent, with a big future. I believe he can become a high-level centre-back, and he can learn a lot from players like Cristian Romero and Thomas Frank, who is a fantastic coach."

🗣️"I have never seen such a talented, young, Japanese centre-back. For the Japanese national team, he is already a very important player.”
