Fresh from starring in the @J_League_En, Tatsuki Seko has his pedal to the metal as he accelerates into life's new chapter with Stoke City.
However, these are still speculations, and the final decision on Seko’s debut will rest with Steve Schumacher, who will determine the starting lineup for the matches against Oxford United and Fleetwood. This signing has excited The Potters' fans, as they were hoping for a standout midfield addition, and Seko is seen as a fantastic acquisition from Japanese football.
The start of the season is also anticipated to see the debut of other new players, such as Tom Cannon, who is expected to make a significant impact and compete for a starting position. The youth infusion is having a positive effect on the team, and it will be a challenging task for Steve Schumacher to decide the starting offensive lineup, especially with the team’s need for a strong goal-scoring contribution this season.
