Watch episode seven of our City studios series following the Club’s five Japanese players.
Yui Hasegawa, Ayaka Yamashita, Aoba Fujino, Risa Shimizu and Aemu Oyama are all enjoying life in Manchester and challenging themselves in Europe.
In the series so far, we’ve seen how they live in the city, welcomed the arrival of Oyama and followed Shimizu’s recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that meant she missed her first season.
In this episode, we talk to Japanese football fans who live in the UK about how proud they are of the development of the quintet.
We also speak to Director of Performance Services Emma Deakin about the impact of Japanese players at City and to the Women’s Super League.
