Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

R. Izumi is a 32-year-old centre-forward at Nagoya Grampus, rated 19.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 153rd of 193 on scout potential in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (41.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Izumi.

Judged on this season alone, Izumi graded 7 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the J1 League, on 0 goals and 1 assist in 10 appearances (0.127 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 7). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 19, 22nd of 28 of the 28 centre-forwards in the J1 League. At 32 Izumi is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 2.1 reflects that trajectory.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.13 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 19.1, Izumi carries the 22nd-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 work-in-progress on end product (0.13 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
