Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.75 goal contributions per 90 (0.64 goals, 0.11 assists) — productive for the role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 49.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 38.5, Tanimura carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the J1 League of 28 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a genuine goal threat (0.75 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
