Beerschot welcomes Japanese winger Takatora Einaga.Men19 AugBeerschot have strengthened their squad with the signing of Takatora Einaga. The 23-year-old Japanese winger has signed a two-year contract at the Kiel, with an option for an additional season. For Einaga, this will be his first adventure outside Japan.
Born in Kobe, Japan, Einaga came through the youth academies of several Japanese clubs. In 2022, the left-footed winger joined Kawasaki Frontale, where he took his first steps in professional football. In total, the winger has already gained playing experience in the J1 League as well as the J2 and J3 Leagues. Einaga can operate on both the right and left wing. The new Beerschot signing has also represented several Japanese youth national teams. He played for Japan U20 and was part of the Japanese squad at the U20 World Cup.
Sporting Director Murat Akin is pleased with the arrival of Einaga: “We were still looking for players who can provide depth and attacking threat on the wings. With Takatora, we are convinced that we have found the right player. He is a young, dynamic winger with pace and strong one-on-one ability. On top of that, he is left-footed and can play on both flanks. We believe that his qualities will make him an important asset for our team.” For Einaga, his move to Beerschot marks the first step in his career outside Japan. The 23-year-old winger is ready for a new challenge in Europe and will now wear the purple and white shirt.
