Good news has been delivered to the Japanese soccer community. Tottenham Hotspur freshman Takai Gota's return is imminent.

Football London said on the 26th (Korea time) "Tottenham Hotspur's first recruit this summer, Takai Gota, has yet to play a game for the team, but he is nearing a return to training after a disappointing start," he reported.

Tottenham recruited Japanese national defender Takai Gota for 5 million pounds (about 9.3 billion won) from the J-League Kawasaki Frontale last month. However, he began to suffer injuries shortly after he joined the team in training after receiving a work permit, and has so far missed a single game, including a pre-season friendly.




During the pre-season tour in Korea, Tottenham manager Thomas Frank said, `Takai Gota has plantar fasciitis. I don't know exactly how long it will take. It could be weeks."

Gota has recovered from his injury and is in the midst of recovery training to join the formal team training.

The media reported "Gotha is currently in recovery training, meaning he is one step closer to returning to formal team training."

Gota, a 191-centimeter-tall central defender, is considered a player with abundant experience despite his young age born in 2004. He has already played in 78 games for Kawasaki, 57 of which were in the J-League. He won the Japanese Super Cup last year and won the J-League Young Player Award.

Currently, Tottenham's central defender's main resources are powerful, so Gota can take on the role of a backup member when he returns. As a rotation resource such as a cup competition, it is expected to be given a limited opportunity to play. With Gotha's growth and performance, Tottenham can expect an increase in Japanese fandom.
