YUKINARI SUGAWARA
Defender · Cagliari · Serie A
“Reliable full-back who keeps the flank clean and live.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Sugawara is a prime full back whose value rests on a still-developing profile and the level he showed at AZ Alkmaar. The discount comes from his league step and uncertain starting place.

Analysis overview
Sugawara plays like a modern, disciplined full-back: tidy on the ball, sharp in his positioning, and always ready to support the next pass. He gives his side steady width, times his overlaps well, and keeps his defensive work simple and secure when the game turns. In the prime of his career, he looks like a dependable outlet rather than a gamble.
