Looks like he can go past a man but he looks more like someone who will link everything at the top of the midfield and pop up everywhere imo.
A bit like Adel Taarabt for QPR when they got promoted

You mean that surely?
By all account he's an excellent football player but they don't play hoofball in the far east so he's going to be pretty redundant in the midfield. At least he's reasonably short so theres no risk of him intercepting one of the back fours long balls.

He's of the David Silva type, plays out wide on the team sheet but will come inside more often than not and act as a link between the midfield and strikers, he's a flair player and will get a lot of assists but i don't think he'll get too many goals.

He ha scored 15 goals in 41 games for Cerezo Ozaka and he scored 8 in a loan spell at Oita Trinita. That os better than a goal every three games. According to Wiki anyway which I know isn't always accurate in nth number of goals scored.
And of course the championship is a different ball game. Still the potential is there
