Tanaka BETTER Than Kamara? This Key STATS Reveals HOW Tanaka Has Performed Better Than Kamara With Fewer Games Played…..

Tanaka Surpasses Kamara in Key Stat, Justifying Leeds United’s Summer Transfer Decision

Leeds United’s sale of Glen Kamara to Rennes in the summer raised eyebrows, but the club’s recruitment has justified the decision. Ao Tanaka, signed for £3.4m, has already outperformed Kamara in a crucial aspect.

Tanaka’s eight shots in just 10 games surpass Kamara’s five attempts in 37 Championship matches last season. This significant upgrade in attacking threat from central midfield has transformed Leeds’ dynamic.

Daniel Farke’s desire to sign Tanaka a year earlier finally materialized, and the Japanese midfielder’s impact is evident. With 18 successful tackles, 23 attempted, and 10 interceptions, Tanaka has proven a shrewd acquisition.

Comparing Tanaka’s stats to Kamara’s highlights the improvement:

Tanaka: 8 shots, 7 key passes, 478 successful passes (92% average)
Kamara: 5 shots in 37 games

Farke’s tactical approach, encouraging midfielders to shoot from distance, has contributed to Tanaka’s increased attacking involvement. With Rothwell alongside him, Leeds’ midfield now poses a more significant threat.

The numbers suggest Tanaka will soon break his goal-scoring duck. His impressive start has vindicated Leeds’ decision to sell Kamara and invest in the Japanese midfielder.
