Hiroshi Kiyotake is reportedly attracting the interest of German Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart and is open to a potential move.
The 21-year old Cerezo Osaka and Japan attacking midfielder was recently watched by a Stuttgart scout and is believed to be high on their wishlist of winter transfers.
Kiyotake, who could join fellow countryman Shinji Okazaki at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, admits playing in Europe is of high interest to him and hints a move would be beneficial.
"I have a strong affection for European football. In the future, I would really want to go and play there," he told Sponichi Annex.
