This Player Would Arrive from the Japanese League

At 26 years old, Tatsuki Seko is reported to have verbally agreed to move to Stoke City. He is keen to join the EFL Championship and compete in this league wearing The Potters' colors. The player is looking for a move to Europe to further develop his footballing skills. At his age, he has only played in Japanese football, and with his considerable talent, it's believed he could become a key player for Steve Schumacher.

Moreover, his arrival at the club alongside Bae Jun-ho could be highly beneficial, as the South Korean player might assist in his adaptation process. Tatsuki Seko, at 26, has already played over 169 professional matches, having started his career in 2019 at the age of 22.

It's worth noting that his last season with Kawasaki Frontale was very positive, as he accumulated significant playing time with the team. He logged over 1,500 minutes across more than 30 matches, scoring one goal and providing four assists, primarily as a defensive midfielder. Steve Schumacher is expected to manage the squad effectively as the season progresses.

For Stoke City, this is a crucial time, with the season underway and a long road ahead if they want to compete at the highest level in every competition they are involved in. Up next is an EFL Championship match against West Brom Albion.
