Takes corner in 1-0 loss
Sakamoto recorded one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Fulham.
Analysis: Sakomoto started his second game in a row, having not started any game in the Premier League before this. He has taken a shot in each start and taken two crosses, although in this game, he has taken his first corner of the season.
Stuck on bench
Sakamoto has been an unused substitute in four of his team's first five league games of the 2026/27 season.
Analysis: Sakamoto has lacked opportunities to replicate his previous season impact when he helped the squad to a promotion campaign with seven goals and three assists over 35 appearances in the English Championship. However, he has seen his role significantly reduced at the Premier League level, falling behind Loum Tchaouna, Jack Rudoni and Gustavo Hamer in both depth chart and set-piece tasks. The Japanese has at least seen action in the EFL Cup, but he has yet to open his scoring or assisting counts.
