PERUGIA HAND JAPANESE STAR TRIAL

PERUGIA have lined up yet another Far East signing after agreeing to give a trial to Japanese wonderkid Keisute Ota.

The massive success of Hidetoshi Nakata (pictured) - now at Roma - and current Korean star Ahn Jung-Hwan, has convinced Perugia to continue their raids on the Eastern market and Ota is the latest target.

The 20-year-old Japanese youth international, who currently plays for the University of Fukuoka, will spend two weeks at the club in a bid to earn himself a dream move to Serie A.

One advantage of hiring Far East players, is the massive revenue generated from the television markets in the Orient.
