Japanese players rise in EPL
Japanese football has entered a historic season in the 2026-2027 Premier League, with currently 10 Japanese players representing clubs in the Premier League—the highest number in the history of Japanese players participating in the competition. These players are spread across 9 clubs, with five making their debut in the English top flight. Notable transfers include Zeon Suzuki to Aston Villa, Takuhiro Tomiyasu to Crystal Palace, Takehisa Morita to Hull City, and Daisuke Maida to Ipswich Town. The presence of these players is viewed as a reflection of increased confidence from English clubs in their quality and affordability, with more Japanese players potentially joining before the transfer window closes. Suzuki is notably the first Japanese goalkeeper to play in the league, which enhances Japan’s position in global football and positively influences the development of the sport in the country.
