According to L'Équipe, Le Havre now have three Japanese players in their squad, a rarity in the top five European leagues that the club hopes to turn into an asset.
The trio comprises Ayumu Seko, Kaito Mizuta and Sota Nakamura.
Japanese is now the club’s second most represented nationality.
Barely a year ago, Seko’s arrival at Le Havre drew attention in Normandy.
This summer, compatriots Mizuta and Nakamura joined him, strengthening the contingent.
