K. Sano is a ball-winner at NEC Nijmegen (71 overall, CDM) — run-of-the-mill at that. At 21 with 11 points of headroom up to 82, they're one of the most serious bets on the future you can sign.

Their place is in front of the defence as CDM. Their job is the dirty work: win the ball back, cover the full-backs when they push on and hold their position. They can also play LM and CM. The game also rewards them with roles like Holding and Winger, which reinforce that profile.
Their weapons: stamina (81) and short passing (74). That notable stamina is their signature.
Their weak points: strength (58) and aggression (62). Nothing the right system and teammates can't cover.
Their market price sits around 4,7 M€, with 7 K€ in wages. As an investment they're among the best: give them minutes, they gain value and you end up making money on them.
They start from 71 with a ceiling of 82 — that's +11 of headroom. Still at an improving age; with regular minutes they'll add points season by season. Give them continuity and a good role so that potential doesn't stay on paper.
Their best position is CDM, though they can also play LM and CM.
Their potential is 82. They start from 71, so they can rise +11 with minutes and development.
Their market value is around 4,7 M€, with 7 K€ wages.
Their reading of the game is 69 — unremarkable for their position.
