Scout report
Y. Kitajima is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Avispa Fukuoka, rated 35 overall by Field Insider's model. In his prime years, he has been a fringe squad member this season (6.6% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Kitajima.
On the season, Kitajima graded 1 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 0.796 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 8 → 0). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2025/26.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35. At 26 Kitajima is in his prime years, and a market index of 9.6 reflects that trajectory.
Kitajima is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Avispa Fukuoka finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
0.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 3 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 6.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 35 overall — developing / rotation level. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (0.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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.
