Robbie Neilson has outlined Yutaro Oda's key attributes as Hearts confirmed the capture of the highly-rated Japanese forward.
The 21-year-old has joined the Jambos from J-League side Vissel Kobe for an undisclosed fee on a three-and-a-half-year deal. He arrives in the capital with experience of the top flight in Japan, Asian Champions League and international experience at Under-21 level all under his belt. He made his top team debut back in April 2019 as a 17-year-old for Vissel Kobe and has went on to feature alongside Barecelona and Spain legend Andres Iniesta.
Speaking to the official Hearts website, Robbie Neilson said: “I’m really pleased to get Yutaro in as our next signing of this window. He’s got a lot of great attributes but the exciting thing is that he’s still young and there will be more to come from him, so we’ve got a huge part to play in developing him.
