On the pitch he impressed in attack and almost supplied his first assist in the 10th minute. Receiving with his back to goal in the box, he held the ball and fed Danjuma, who could not convert.

Carlos Corberán started him on opening day and later replaced him with Umar Sadiq. Sato left to an ovation, his work-rate and commitment clear to the Mestalla crowd.

The 6 July arrival has been a bright spot of Valencia’s summer, standing out across pre-season. He scored 2 goals in friendlies and convinced Corberán with his link play, movement and intensity. The coach has highlighted his versatility.
