Doko is a defender who has already distinguished himself through the Japanese national team by age, and was born in 2006 and moved to Feyenoord to experience life in Europe. As a member of the Japanese national team, he is likely to continue to play in the future. Even though he is still young, he has already played 19 A matches for the Japanese national team. Japan is a powerhouse ranked seventh in the FIFA Women's Soccer Rankings. It is the highest ranking among Asian countries. The gap is also wide with North Korea (9th), China (17th) and South Korea (21st). Considering this, Tottenham has recruited an outstanding player to take responsibility for the future of the Japanese national team. Asian players have already played an active role in Tottenham Women. Tottenham Women previously recruited Cho So-hyun of the Korean national team in 2021.
With the addition of Doko, Tottenham will add two Japanese players this summer alone, following Takai Kota. Earlier, Takai did not make an official announcement, but news was reported that Tottenham's transfer was imminent. Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European soccer transfer market, said, `Tottenham will recruit center back Takai, who was born in 2004. The transfer fee is 5 million pounds (about 9 billion won). This is the highest transfer fee for any Japanese player in J-League history. The two players will join Tottenham Women and Tottenham, respectively.
The wind from Japan is blowing in Tottenham this summer. Attention is also expected to be paid to whether both Takai and Doko will be able to play well in Tottenham.
