Arata Izumi

Arata Izumi is the first Japanese player to play for India in international football. He has been plying his trade with Indian clubs since last 12 years but he could not understand the dynamics of ISL after the first season.

He has played for three clubs in his three stints at the tournament including Atletico de Kolkata, Pune City and Kerala Blasters. However, he has not managed as many goals as he scored in his first season as the other two seasons combined.

He scored five goals in 10 games in Atletico colours while he managed only one goal in 13 games since then. Age has been taking a toll on him too as he will be turning 36 this year and does not seem fit enough to fulfil the duties of a midfielder well.
