Career

No transfer history

Taiyo Koga is Kashiwa Reysol's Platinum Engine. At 28 years old, the Urayasu native has spent the bulk of his professional career anchoring the midfield for his boyhood club. He stands as a reliable, ever-present force in the heart of the pitch, dictating the tempo and breaking up opposition momentum.

Playing every single minute of his nine appearances, Koga is undeniably hitting top form. His 810 minutes played highlight an immense stamina, but it is his tactical awareness that truly shines. He has rightfully earned the MAGNET badge, serving as the central hub where the ball naturally finds him. His high Defense rating proves crucial, stopping attacks before transitioning into possession. Rather than providing direct goal contributions, his game is built on an unrelenting motor and the sheer volume of touches he manages across the pitch.

With his relentless form propelling him forward, his market value stands at an upward-trending €2M. As a highly reliable asset entering his prime years, Koga represents both stability and immense tactical value in crunch matches.
