It is more than likely for Randal Kolo Muani to leave Frankfurt in the upcoming transfer window, which is why Frankfurt should be looking into a new striker to fill that void that will open with his departure.
I see Ayase Ueda as THE perfect replacement for Kolo Muani. The Japanese international has gotten 21 goals provided 2 assists in his first season in Europe at Cercle Brugge and seems to be unstoppable
He is a player who can create chances for his teammates and score himself, while also being a very good penalty taker. Not only that, but he is extremely good with his head and has that instinctive movement a striker should have.
He has everything Muani has, except his speed, but excels in other categories even more. And for a price of “only” 3,5 Million Euros? In my eyes someone who can’t be overlooked at by the scouts over at Frankfurt.
With the departure of Milos Kerkez AZ Alkmaar will NEED a new Left Back, who can carry the ball with the same confidence and expertise, while being a defending beast just like Kerkez.
The 21-year-old Japanese, could be a fitting replacement for that, in an environment which lets him grow to his full potential - the Eredivisie. Kashif has showed why he deserves the move to Europe
On both international stages against Colombia and on national stages playing for FC Tokyo. He has a cheap price of “only” 325 thousand Euros and could strengthen Alkmaar’s defence, alongside his Japanese colleague, Sugawara.
Someone who many thought that would already playing in Europe by now, due to his massive footballing IQ and clinical finishing, which are only two of his many strengths.
Shuto Machino. A machine just like his name suggests, is more than capable of playing in an upper European league and succeed there in my opinion. Providing 7 goals and 3 assists in the current J1League season (12 games in) for Shonan Bellmare, Shuto is on the radar of many clubs
But why should he be on USG’s radar? With the departure of Dante Vanzeir last window and Yorbe Vertessen one of the main strikers, ending his loan spell there soon, they should be investing in a Striker, who can carry them through next season too.
That’s where Shuto Machino comes in handy. While he does have a hefty price of 1,2 Million, there are not many players of his level for that price out there. By selling him in the future they would generate even more revenue.
For me it should be already a done deal and in general any club could be happy to have him.
Strength: He has extremely fast feet and is a very quick dribbler, he can turn left or right in order to get out of a high press allowing him to get beyond a midfielder with ease.
Even though he is not he youngest (25),Dávid Hancko of Slovakia is the perfect choice CB for many teams,and should be one to watch this summer. Averaging a 7.30 rating on Sofascore,he is among the most reliable CBs of the Eredivise.
Not only standing out with his defending abilities,but he is very comfortable on the ball as well,also having 9(!) G/A this season in all comps. Wins 70% of his duels,while having 5 long balls and 3.8 chipped passes per 90
Gives 25.1 accurate passes on the opposition half,the perfect demonstration of his highly offensive style for a CB.Versatility is also one of his strenghts as he is able to play as a CB,LCB and LB too
