Schalke 04 brings Ko Itkura from Manchester City
As the second division announced, the 24-year-old central defender is borrowed for a year, but the Gelsenkirchener secured a purchase option. Already yesterday S04 Darko Churlinov had brought a lean from Stuttgart.
We've been watching Ko Iturka for a long time and are absolutely convinced of his qualities: he is actively defending and aggressive, has a really good positioning game and is defensive as an offensive strong in header duels, describes Schalke's sports director Rouven Schröder the newcomer. Although he is young only 24 years, he already brings a great deal of experience and will enrich our squad.
Rod player in Groningen
ItCura moved from Kawasaki Frontale to Manchester City in January 2019, but did not play a mandatory game for the professional team nor for the U 23 of the Citizens. Instead, he was almost for the entire two and a half years since his commitment to the FC Groningen, for whom he stood in the expired Eredivisie season in all games in the square and did not miss a single minute. For Japan, Itkura so far played five internationals, with his last deployment in May, he managed a goal at the 10-0 about Myanmar.
Schalke was already for the defensive man before changing a well-known name. Not least by Attsuto Uchida, the club is well known in Japan, says Iturka. I would be glad if I can inspire the fans soon as well as then Uchida.
