Keisuke Goto

A 191 cm striker born in 2005 who is already at Bundesliga club SC Freiburg and capped by Japan: that sentence would have sounded like fiction about Japanese football twenty years ago. He comes out of Shizuoka, the prefecture that has served as Japan's football heartland for generations, which means being the best forward in his own city was itself a real achievement. What I am watching is how he uses the height. Tall forwards get typecast fast; you become the head that meets crosses and nothing else. Japan has produced very few genuine big men up front, so there is no worn path for him to follow and he will have to invent his own. He is twenty-one and learning the trade in one of the hardest leagues in Europe. If it clicks, that spot is his for a decade.
