T. Kaneko is a 29-year-old winger at Urawa, rated 34.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 73rd of 152 on scout potential in the J1 League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (66.5% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kaneko.

Judged on this season alone, Kaneko graded 17 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 3rd of 5 of the 5 wingers in the J1 League, on 1 goal and 4 assists in 33 appearances (0.198 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 27). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 3rd of 5 of the 5 wingers in the J1 League. At 29 Kaneko is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.2 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 33 appearances (0.03 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.15 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 66.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Output. 0.2 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.8, Kaneko carries the 3rd-highest potential of the wingers in the J1 League of 5. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.2 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
