0 goals in 16 appearances (0 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 48.7, Nakajima carries the 8th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J1 League of 51 — though on just 16 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0 goal contributions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
