Nope. Nothing came up when I googled his name. No mention of him on Twitter either so far today.

simple japan market boosting.

simple japan market boosting.

Exactly. It makes complete sense.

Does anyone know the current record for an Asian player that we're supposedly beating?

Also he's about a generation out Mario Stanic could've ridden him like Mario and Yoshi

Japanese media reports Yoshinori Muto set for Chelsea. But some Japanese football fans think that rumor of a April joke. I agree with them.

Looks like both the Kenedy and Muto stories are true:

Kenedy - http://gianlucadimarzio.com/en/calciomercato/fluminese-ready-to-sell-prospect-kenedy-while-chelsea-is-interested/

Muto - http://www.oneworldsports.com/stories/chelsea-looking-add-japan-international

While the guy who works with Di Marzio says this storie is true as well.

The sponsorship deal came with buying a Japanese player?

Always some bs details inside those contracts.

duncan castles is so well conneceted to mourihno that anything he says about chelsea transfers should be taken as HIGHLY reliable. He said in his article that chelsea are looking to buy a japanese player and we have yet to decide who. He hinted that this is also a commercial driven move that conicides with our new sponsors.

Now this guy yoshinori muto is apparently the best in the j league and he plays striker and were sorta in the market for a 2nd/3rd choice striker for next season.

here are some videos , loooks good but its the j league. if he can replicate this in the epl wouldn't be a bad signing .
