Scout report
T. Kikuchi is a 27-year-old attacking midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, rated 36.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 167th of 377 on scout potential in the J1 League. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.3 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kikuchi.
Judged on this season alone, Kikuchi graded 9 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 42nd of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal and 2 assists in 20 appearances (0.45 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 19 → 9). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 24th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 27 Kikuchi is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Kikuchi missed 5 games through injury (jumpers knee) out of roughly 38 this season. The 20 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nagoya Grampus finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
1 goal in 20 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.45 goal contributions per 90 (0.15 goals, 0.3 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.2% 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 36.1, Kikuchi carries the 24th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 51 — though on just 20 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.45 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
