It was revealed on 5 August that Belgian side Royal Antwerp are moving to sign midfielder Koji Miyoshi, who is currently on loan at Yokohama F.Marinos from Kawasaki Frontale.



Antwerp value Miyoshi’s ability highly and it is said that the Jupiler Pro League team is submitting a formal offer for the 22-year-old, with the aim of signing him this summer.

Miyoshi graduated from Kawasaki academy to the first team in 2015 and his talents started to blossom while on loan at Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo last year. On the international front, he made his debut at the Copa America in June and stood out for his two-goal performance against Uruguay.

According to officials, Miyoshi’s stock grew after the Uruguay match and he attracted the interests of European clubs. Aside from Antwerp, there is also an offer from Japanese-owned Sint-Truiden.

Miyoshi could very well follow the footsteps of fellow Tokyo Olympic teammates Takefusa Kubo (Real Madrid), Hiroki Abe (Barcelona) and Daizen Maeda (Maritimo) and move overseas this summer.
