According to Romano and the BBC, Tottenham Hotspur will sign 20-year-old Japanese international Kodai Takai from the J League Kawasaki striker. The player will directly join the Tottenham's first team next season. This deal also set a new record for the transfer fee for the J League to sell Japanese players.

Japanese football expert Allen Gibson praised Takai Yukita in an interview on the talkSPORT program: "He is very outstanding, very fast, and has a height of 1.9 to 1.92 meters, which is very rare among Japanese players. In the Premier League, this will become an advantage. However, he currently weighs only about 80 to 83 kilograms, and may need to be stronger."

"I think you may have seen him in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. The wonderful performance in the game, he faced Ronaldo, Mane and Duran at that time, and basically defended them all the game. I didn't even realize that Ronaldo had played for 60 minutes on the court. To be honest, I watched the game on a small screen and completely forgot about the existence of Ronaldo. "

This year's AFC Elite League semi-finals, Riyadh won 2-3 home defeat to Kawasaki forward missed the final, and Yukio Takai started the central defender and played the whole game.
