Japanese trio makes impact at Le Havre AC in Ligue 1 debut

Three Japanese players are making an impact at the French Ligue 1 club Le Havre AC. Following the signing of defender Ayumu Seko, the team has added attacker Sota Nakamura from Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Kaito Mizuta from Germany's RWE.

During the season opener against AS Monaco, Seko played a full match as a center-back, while Nakamura and Mizuta both appeared as substitutes. Nakamura, 23, drew significant attention from fans and official social media channels after demonstrating impressive dribbling skills, including a move that bypassed former German international defender Thilo Kehrer. Mizuta also made a notable appearance, nearly scoring a goal late in the match.

Local media reports suggest that both Nakamura and Mizuta may be considered for starting positions in upcoming matches, such as the fixture against Lyon, following their strong initial performances.
