Even though his role under the German tactician is a bit different, his quality is evident on the pitch. The Japanese international is a hard-working player who does his offensive and defensive duties very well on the pitch.

Kamada has a great attitude, which makes him a great team player; his teammates also love and admire him a lot. He is a complete package as he can score, provide assists, tackle, intercept passes, as well as block shots. He has played 26 games so far in the Premier League, in which he has received two yellow cards as well.
