It has been announced that ENDO Wataru, captain of the Japan national football team, will move to English Premier League powerhouse Liverpool.
English Premier League club Liverpool announced on the 18th that they have acquired Endo from Stuttgart of the German First Division.
Endo
is a 1-year-old from Yokohama.
With his strength on the ball, he has shown his strength in one-on-one situations called "duels" and has played 3 games for the Japan national team.
