Takashi Inui (乾 貴士 Inui Takashi, born 2 June 1988) is a Japanese footballer[2][3][4] who plays for Spanish club SD Eibar and the Japanese National Football Team as a winger or attacking midfielder.

Club career

Inui was a member of the Japan U21. He was the All Japan High School Soccer Tournament Letterwinner in 2006 when his High School, Shiga Yasu HS, won the tournament.[5]

In 2007, Inui joined Yokohama F. Marinos of the J. League Division 1 and he made his debut as a professional against Yokohama F.C. in a league match on March 10. However, he failed to find a regular spot at Marinos and then was loaned to second division side Cerezo Osaka in June 2008, earning himself a permanent move at the end of the season.[6]

In July 2011, Inui made the jump to Europe, joining Germany's VfL Bochum.[7] He made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga, when he started in a 1–2 home defeat versus FC St. Pauli on August 13, 2011.

In July 2012, Inui signed a three-year contract with newly promoted Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt after impressive performance in the German second tier.[8]

On 26 August 2015, Inui was transferred to La Liga side Eibar, after agreeing to a three-year contract.[9]

International career

Inui made his full international debut for Japan on January 20, 2009 in a 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification against Yemen.[10]
