Shinya Nakano
Shinya Nakano is my favourite young player in Japan at the moment, a left back who can double up as a centre half too. At only 18 years old he displays a great aptitude for the technical and physical side of the game, rapidly becoming a very well rounded full back. One key aspect of his game is his ease in turning defence into attack, seamlessly working up and down the left flank he always offers himself in transitions, aside from your traditional fullback role Shinya is also able to play as more of an inverted fullback which can be seen when his team is on the break, often shuffling into a more advanced, central role. His ability on the ball and directness is another great part of his game, his fearlessness is seldom seen for his age but only adds to his game as he looks ahead to an incredibly promising career
