Southampton have announced the signing of midfielder Kuryu Matsuki from FC Tokyo.
The 21-year-old, who has captained Japan’s U20 side and been capped 18 times at U23 level and won the Asian Cup, has signed a four-year deal with the Saints.
However, he will not arrive at St Mary’s until 2025, with Southampton immediately loaning him out to Turkish side Göztepe.
As a result of his performances in 2023, Matsuki won AFC Youth Player of the Year.
