Shoya Nakajima

Shoya Nakajima

Shoya Nakajima attacks space from the left, drifts inside, and threatens the back post. Nakajima shines on loan at Portimonense with 10 goals and 10 assists. Shoya Nakajima then earned a Porto move. He signed for FC Porto in 2019 and began aligning with the team's tempo. Nakajima made his Japan debut in March 2018 and later scored for his country. As an inverted left winger, Nakajima links play with quick layoffs and checks short then spins in behind. He presses high and attacks the half-spaces, finishing moves when space opens.
