Leicester Considering Move for Japanese Wonderkid Kyosuke Tagawa Before Summer Window Closes

Leicester are reportedly keen on signing Japanese future prospect Kyosuke Tagawa this summer. The 19-year-old is held in very high regard in his homeland, and has the backing of Foxes forward Shinji Okazaki.

The midfielder is very much unknown in England, but is quickly rising up the ranks of Japanese football. Currently plying his trade for J-League outfit Sagan Tosu, Tagawa has already accumulated 26 appearances at club level - chipping in with five goals, and is tipped for greatness.

And now, according to Japanese outlet Sponichi, Leicester are tempted to make a move for the youngster, with compatriot Okazaki vouching for him - having received a lot of attention over the summer.
