While Kaishu Sano’s consistent performances in the Bundesliga had already begun turning heads, his reputation was truly launched into the stratosphere during Japan’s recent World Cup run. With Japan’s exit from the tournament confirmed, the race for his signature is expected to accelerate rapidly.

Following his arrival at Anfield, head coach Andoni Iraola has been eager to implement his high-intensity footballing philosophy from the outset. Both Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford are ready to fight the Reds for Sano’s signature.

In the past, Sano has been linked with heavyweights such as Arsenal, Manchester United, and Borussia Dortmund all of whom could severely complicate Liverpool’s advances if they choose to formalise their interest. Meanwhile, Sano’s current club, Mainz, appear to be entirely resigned to losing their star man.
