Looking forward to see this lad play. Seems he's got the right attributes. Wonder how we'll set up with Saka in the side ? Back to the old 4-4-2 so as a traditional RW with Simms and Godden/A.N.Other up front ? Down the middle in the usual Midfield 3 ? As has been said, he looks too offensively minded to play RWB so it's either a change of formation or MR is planning on pulling another of his midnight magic tricks.

"Although a naturally left-footed player, Sakamoto is understood to have been drafted in to operate as a
right wing-back following the departures of Fankaty Dabo, Brooke Norton-Cuffy and Todd Kane.
Scott Coyne from the
Belgian Football Podcast has spoken to CoventryLive to give fans an insight into what to expect from the Tokyo-born player who previously played in the J2 and J1 leagues in Japan before moving to Europe in 2022.
"The first thing to say is that he is a good player,” said Coyne. “We’ve enjoyed watching him at
The BFP – a standout player in a poor Oostende side.”
"
Best position: “The good news is that he can actually play on either the left or right, although
his natural position is as a right back but Oostende were playing him mostly on the left as an attacking midfielder/winger. He is small physically, with a low centre of gravity. He also possesses decent pace and is a strong dribbler.”
He's also very deep on a lot of highlights of him-and the man himself says he's very versatile!
