The Swedish side, aware of the interest from around Europe, is reportedly demanding a fee of €9million for the 19-year-old left-back.

Ultimately, Djurgårdens would prefer to keep him at least until the end of the season and maybe even until next summer.

Last campaign, the Japanese youngster made 19 appearances in the Allsvenskan, during which he supplied 2 assists.
