Earned rave reviews from Ipswich boss Kieran Mckenna when Ipswich played them in a friendly.
"Midfielder Ao Tanaka. Anyone who is serious about football will know a little about him. He has incredible technique. But there are other good players at Fortuna, too.”
8 goals and 4 assists last season in the Bundesliga 2.
He us seen as a hard working and energetic midfielder who is happy tackling on the edge of his box then bursting forward at pace immediately after.
He has earned praise for his work ethic and technical ability.
Last season was his best season offensively by a mile and the exception rather than the norm as one criticising could be He hasn't always provided the goals and assists he should.
But he is a well thought of player with potential to improve.
