The Premier League giants are now monitoring the 22-year-old, who currently plays for NEC in the Eredivisie.\n\nSano, born on September 25, 2003, has built an impressive resume since moving to Europe. After developing at Yonago Kita High School and gaining experience with Fagiano Okayama in Japan, he secured a permanent transfer to NEC in August 2023. His time in the Netherlands has been productive, with 146 appearances across all competitions, contributing 17 goals and 19 assists.\n\nThe report indicates that Manchester United's scouting department views Sano as a player with significant potential. This assessment has placed him on the radar of one of the world's most storied clubs, signaling a possible major step up in his career trajectory.\n\nHowever, the Red Devils are not alone in their pursuit. TEAMtalk also names Crystal Palace, Brighton, and Nottingham Forest as clubs showing concrete interest in the Japanese international. The report notes that these three clubs remain heavily involved in the race for his signature, suggesting a competitive market for his services this summer.\n\nSano's consistent performances in the Eredivisie have clearly caught the attention of multiple top-flight English clubs. His ability to contribute both goals and assists from a forward position makes him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their attacking options.\n\nThe coming transfer window will be crucial in determining Sano's next destination. With several Premier League sides actively tracking his progress, a move to England's top division appears to be a genuine possibility for the young talent.\n\nBased on reporting from サッカーキング.","news","Manchester United have reportedly joined the race to sign Japanese international forward Kodai Sano from Dutch club NEC.
