Shunki Higashi operates as Sanfrecce Hiroshima's bronze-tier Creator. Having risen through the youth ranks to make his senior breakthrough in 2018, the left-footed midfielder is deeply embedded in the club's fabric. While he is still building his body of work with limited minutes this season, his tactical influence on the pitch remains evident.
Our verdict points to a hybrid profile that blends elite chance creation with a genuine goal threat. Across seven appearances totalling just 366 minutes, he has demonstrated the traits of an ARCHITECT alongside a handy CLUTCH HERO instinct in vital moments. A high Passing dimension underscores his ability to pick defensive locks and dictate the tempo. Although he is going through a quiet spell and searching for his rhythm in the final third, his underlying metrics paint the picture of a clinical, dual-threat playmaker.
The broader market reflects his genuine upside, with his valuation sitting at €1M and strictly trending upwards. If he can shake off this brief slump and secure a permanent starting berth, that figure is primed to climb further.
