Scout report
H. Nakahara is a 30-year-old attacking midfielder at Sagan Tosu, rated 27.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 92nd of 215 on scout potential in the J2 League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (42.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.36 goal contributions per 90 (0.18 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Nakahara.
Judged on this season alone, Nakahara graded 18 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 7th of 7 of the 7 attacking midfielders in the J2 League, on 2 goals and 2 assists in 26 appearances (0.363 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 20 → 12). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 4th of 7 of the 7 attacking midfielders in the J2 League. At 30 Nakahara is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
