Takehiro Tomiyasu: This Bologna player's name may not be known to the casual football fan, but all of that may change after this Olympics, for the 22-year-old has a very strong case for shining as Japan's best player. Tomiyasu has impressed at the club level with his elegance on the ball as well as his ability to occupy multiple positions, being able to play both Right Back and Centre Back. Though his performances may have slipped the radar of more casual fans, they haven't been unnoticed by talent scouts, as several top clubs have been linked with him, notably Tottenham Hotspur. This summer isn't just an opportunity for Tomiyasu to represent his country. It could potentially be his ticket to one of Europe's elite clubs. (Photo | AFP)
