Japan's proud defensive prospect is also about to advance overseas.

Japan's Soccer King reported on the 22nd that `Japan's U-20 national team defender Kazunari Kita has left the team for an overseas transfer.'

Soccer King announced that Kazunari left the team on the 22nd to transfer to an overseas club. Gaznari said he is expected to head to Sociedad, which is excellent in fostering players in Spain.

Kazunari, a promising player born in 2005, made his professional debut for Kyoto Sanga in the 2023 J League Cup. Since then, he has been playing as a first-team player in Kyoto Sanga since the 2024 season. Kyoto Sanga is a prestigious J-League club where various Korean players, including Park Ji-sung, Ko Jong-soo, and Kim Nam-il, have also played. Kazunari did not play many games. As the first team of Kyoto Shopping Center, it only played five games.

However, a foreign club paying attention to his skills started recruiting. Kubo Takefusa's team was Real Sociedad. Kazunari is a tall center back with a left foot and has excellent defense and provision rights as well as build-up ability. He is also the main defender of Japan's U-20 national team. Sociedad immediately started recruiting because he is an excellent player in both his ability to cope with pressure and his skills.

Sociedad is a prestigious club representing the Basque region of Spain. Several Spanish players have been produced, and Japan's ace, Kubo, is also active in Socieda. For Kazunari, the presence of Kubo is expected to be of great help to the club's adaptation.




Recently, the number of Japanese players entering Europe continues to increase. This summer, along with several players, many players have joined prestigious clubs in Europe, including Takai Gota heading to Tottenham and Shin Yamada, who joined Celtic. Kazunari also joined the ranks.

Meanwhile, if Kazunari joins Sociedad, he is unlikely to play the first team immediately. It is expected that he will adapt to Sociedad B and get a glimpse of his first-team debut opportunity.
