Reports in Japan are suggesting that Hiroshima have beaten out 5 other clubs to the signing of Shonan captain Akito Suzuki. The 22-year-old wants to test himself before moving to Europe apparently. 9 goals, 4 assists last year, he's top class. Would have loved him at Kobe #J1

Fūki Yamada is heading back to Japan after a disappointing loan in Portugal with Nacional. According to reports in Japan, FC Tokyo are signing him on a permanent deal from Kyoto Sanga. Last time we saw him in J1 it was with FC's bitter rivals Tokyo Verdy. Not sure what Park Il-gyu is doing here 😂

I think Kashiwa signing Tomoaki Ōkubo from Urawa is a very decent signing for Reysol. 16 appearances in J1 last season and plenty of talent, still only 27 so still plenty of time to continue developing that end product, which has been missing recently.

Race is on for Rafael Ratão. Cerezo are struggling to strike a deal with Bahia over a permanent move after the Brazilian scored 18 J1 goals while on loan this season. According to Yahoo it's now unlikely he'll stay in Osaka. He has an offer from China but Kobe also very interested.
