Tsuyoshi Watanabe is Feyenoord's bronze Sniper. Arriving in Rotterdam from KAA Gent in the summer of 2025, the 29-year-old Japanese international is still hunting for the first major trophy of his career. He brings a unique blend of defensive grit and unexpected attacking threat to the side.

Despite an emerging sample size of just 413 minutes across six appearances, Watanabe is hitting top form. He reads the game brilliantly and steals the ball for fun, earning a gold INTERCEPTOR badge in the process. Yet, his clinical finishing is the real headline here. A sky-high Shooting dimension proves that his recent goalscoring contribution is no fluke, marking him as a genuine threat who punishes opponents in the final third.

As his influence grows on the pitch, his market value has climbed to €10M. Showing a clearly rising trend, Watanabe is establishing himself as a highly valuable, multi-faceted asset.
