Yuma Suzuki (鈴木 優磨, Suzuki Yūma, born 26 April 1996) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a striker for J1 League club Kashima Antlers. [2]
Suzuki joined the Kashima Antlers youth system at the age of 7 in 2003.
After scoring two goals and leading Kashima Antlers to their first ever AFC Champions League title in 2018, Suzuki was named MVP of the competition. [3]
He was chosen as one of the candidates for 2018 Asian Footballer of the Year. [4]
On 15 July 2019, Suzuki joined Belgian First Division A club Sint-Truiden. [5] Suzuki scored his first goal for his new club on 21 September 2019, opening the scoring in his side's 3–0 victory over Sporting Charleroi. [6]
On 30 November 2019, Suzuki headed in the winning goal as Sint-Truiden upset defending league champions Genk, to move up to 10th in the league table. [7]
On 3 January 2022, his departure from Sint-Truiden was announced. He returned to his former club Kashima Antlers. This marked his 6th season in Japan's top flight league ( J1 League), where he played from the start of his career in 2015, until transferring overseas in 2019.
His debut call-up to the Japan national team was on 7 November 2018 for the Kirin Cup, [8] but he was excluded because of suffering an ankle sprain in his club's AFC Champions League match. [9]
