Gladbach signs Japanese talent Zento Uno until 2030. The 22-year-old midfielder is moving from Shimizu S-Pulse to the Fohlen. Zento Uno has signed a contract until June 30, 2030. Initially, sports boss Rouven Schröder had already agreed with the Japanese player weeks ago, but he had injured himself in the J1 League against Gamba Osaka at the end of May. However, the injury turned out to be not as severe as initially feared. And now Uno passed the medical check at Borussia without any problems. Rouven Schröder on his new Japanese player: Zento is a defensively thinking, tactically disciplined, duel- and running-strong midfielder. After two seasons in the J-League and his first appearances in the Japanese national team, the move to the Bundesliga is the next, but also challenging step for him. Zento Uno expects a lot from his move to the Fohlen: I have always wanted to play in the Bundesliga. Borussia is a big club that is very well known in Japan through its Japanese players. Zento is already the sixth new signing for the Fohlen, following Yukhym Konoplia, Enzo Leopold, David Herold, Isac Lidberg, and Daniel Batz. With Swedish talent Samin Mujevic, Schröder has also already landed a huge talent that will likely cause a stir in the Bundesliga in the future. The signing of Zento Uno is an important step for Gladbach's squad overhaul. The club wants to perform better in the new season than in the previous one. With the new players, Gladbach wants to increase the competition in the Bundesliga. Zento Uno will surely delight Gladbach's fans with his style of play. The Japanese player is known for his defensive strength and his ability to win the ball. Gladbach's coach will certainly integrate Zento Uno into the team. The club has already played some important games in the new season. Zento Uno will surely play a crucial role.
