Japanese striker Naoki Kumada, who emerged in the U20 Asian Cup, recently announced that he has joined Belgian League side Genk and become a high-profile member of the club's new season. The 19-year-old not only scored five goals in the Asian Cup, but was also named top scorer with his astonishing goalscoring ability and precise shooting.
As a left-footed player and a striker with a height of 183cm, Naoki Kumada showed excellent technique and flexibility. He scored two goals for Japan Under-20 against China's Under-20 team and made a good start to his outstanding performance in the Asian Cup. He then continued to deliver with a sharp attacking threat and precise shots to the net again in other matches to eventually claim the title of top scorer in the Asian Cup.
Such a result made the Belgian league team Genk untouchable. They saw the potential for great value and immediately moved to loan him to the team.
