Welcome Isa!

KVC Westerlo has added another ace to its attacking lineup with Isa Sakamoto. The Japanese forward joins from Gamba Osaka and has signed a contract at ’t Kuipje. He is on loan until the end of the season, after which he will receive a three-season contract.

With 10 goals in the Japanese J1-League, Sakamoto became the youngest player to hit double digits in scoring. His goal-scoring instincts helped lead his team to fourth place in the standings, Gamba Osaka’s best result in the past four seasons in Japan’s top division.

Now, he’s ready to make the nets ripple in Belgium’s first division. Over the next seasons, Sakamoto will wear jersey number 13 for our Kemphanen.

Best of luck and welcome to KVC Westerlo, Isa!
