Journalist: Tottenham 'really like' Bundesliga star who is a 'a bit like Moises Caicedo'

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Mainz midfielder Kaishu Sano. 

The 24-year-old has done quite well for the German club, and his performances have attracted the attention of the North London outfit. The Japanese International is a defensive midfielder, but he can operate as a box-to-box midfielder as well.

According to Ben Jacobs, Tottenham really like the player and could look to make a move for him in future. Jacobs believes that the Japanese international is similar to the Chelsea star Moises Caicedo.

Tottenham keen on Japanese midfield star

Jacobs said on Last Word on Spurs: “Kaishu Sano, who is at the Bundesliga side Mainz, is another player that Tottenham really like. He’s an extremely combative number six who is capable of moving between the lines, winning aerial duels, but a bit like Moises Caicedo, is a very progressive passer, who you sort of see a lot of underrated attacking qualities about. He’s not just your standard engine room and ball winner. He’s also very good at, after he’s won it, getting his head up and working out where there’s an incisive pass to be played. And that’s why he is so effective playing in a counterattacking side. That’s also maybe another name to watch.”
