Playing Style Profiles
Kakuta is the rare midfielder who earns his wages in the penalty box rather than the engine room—a creator-turned-finisher operating in a league that rarely sees either. His 0.45 goals per 90 places him in the top 5% of midfielders in the division, a number that quietly reframes everything else about his game.
A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.2 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), heavily involved in play (62 touches/90) and a high-intensity presser (press score 3.0/90), constantly disrupting opposition build-up.
